function-graph: add memory barriers for accessing task's ret_stack
The code that handles the tasks ret_stack allocation for every task assumes that only an interrupt can cause issues (even though interrupts are disabled). In reality, the code is allocating the ret_stack for tasks that may be running on other CPUs and there are not efficient memory barriers to handle this case. [ Impact: prevent crash due to using of uninitialized ret_stack variables ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
