The Function Graph Tracer modifies the return address of a traced function
to a return trampoline (return_to_handler()) to gather tracing data on
function return. When the unwinder encounters return_to_handler(), it calls
ftrace_graph_get_ret_stack() to lookup the original return address in the
return address stack.
This makes sense to me, I'll need to re-review properly with the changes
earlier on in the series but should be fine.
I will make changes based on the comments I have received so far and send
out version 4 so everything is current for the next round of review.

Thanks!

Madhavan
