tracing: Change the function format to display function names by perf

Here is an example for this change.

$ sudo perf record -e 'ftrace:function' --filter='ip==schedule'
$ sudo perf report

The output of perf before this patch:

\# Samples: 100  of event 'ftrace:function'
\# Event count (approx.): 100
\#
\# Overhead  Trace output
\# ........  ......................................

After this patch:

\# Samples: 36  of event 'ftrace:function'
\# Event count (approx.): 36
