tracing/fgraph: convert process/thread iterator to for_each_process_thread_rculock

This commit replaces the manual rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock() pair
combined with the for_each_process_thread() loop in fgraph.c with the
for_each_process_thread_rculock() macro, which scopes the RCU read lock to
the loop body via scoped_guard(rcu).

[Severity: Low]
Does this mix scope-based cleanup with manual goto-based error handling?

By replacing the manual RCU lock with for_each_process_thread_rculock()
(which uses scoped_guard(rcu)), the function now relies on scope-based
cleanup for the RCU lock, but still jumps to a manual "goto free" label
for the memory cleanup below.

The cleanup guidelines state that for a given routine, we should convert all
resources that need a "goto" cleanup to scope-based cleanup, or convert none
of them, avoiding mixed usage in the same function.
