The graph tracer hooks returns by modifying frame records on the
(regular) stack, but with SCS the return address is taken from the
shadow stack, and the value in the frame record has no effect. As we
don't currently have a mechanism to determine the corresponding slot
on the shadow stack (and to pass this through the ftrace
infrastructure), for now let's disable the graph tracer when SCS is
enabled.

I think this is the wrong way around, as we support the graph tracer
today and so I think SHADOW_CALL_STACK should depend on !GRAPH_TRACER
and possibly even EXPERT until this is resolved.
