ftrace: add stack tracer

This is another tracer using the ftrace infrastructure, that examines
at each function call the size of the stack. If the stack use is greater
than the previous max it is recorded.

You can always see (and set) the max stack size seen. By setting it
to zero will start the recording again. The backtrace is also available.

For example:

# cat /debug/tracing/stack_max_size
1856
