Attached new patch which adds new callback and uses it in function_graph
tracer (not sure whether I need to check graph_array in
graph_trace_update_thresh). Maybe it makes sense to split it into two commits
(add callback itself, use it in the function_graph tracer)?

Btw, I also tried to use static_keys/jump_labels in places where
tracing_thresh is checked, but got double faults. Is there a reason I
can't use jump labels inside tracers?

Currently, tracing_thresh works only if we specify it before selecting
function_graph tracer. If we do the opposite, tracing_thresh will change
it's value, but it will not be applied.
To fix it, we add update_thresh callback which is called whenever
tracing_thresh is updated and for function_graph tracer we register
handler which reinitializes tracer depending on tracing_thresh.
