tracing/function-graph-tracer: fix functions call traces imbalance

Impact: fix traces output

Sometimes one can observe an imbalance in the traces between function
calls and function return traces:

func1() {
    }
}

The curly brace inside func1() is the return of another function nested
inside func1. The return trace have been inserted in the buffer but not
the entry.
We are storing a return address on the function traces stack while we
haven't inserted its entry on the buffer, hence the imbalance on the
traces.

This is because the tracers doesn't check all failures that can happen
on buffer insertion.

This patch reports the tracing recursion failures and the ring buffer
failures. In such cases, we now restore the original return address for
the function, giving up its return trace.
