[PATCH] perf/core: allow ftrace for functions in kernel/event/core.c

From: Song Liu

It is useful to trace functions in kernel/event/core.c. Allow ftrace for
them by removing $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE) from Makefile.

We had some discussions about this last year [1]. Seems that enabling
ftrace in kernel/events won't really cause fatal recursion in the tests.
Shall we give it another try?
