ftrace: Have set_graph_functions handle write with RDWR
Since reading the set_graph_functions uses seq functions, which sets the file->private_data pointer to a seq_file descriptor. On writes the ftrace_graph_data descriptor is set to file->private_data. But if the file is opened for RDWR, the ftrace_graph_write() will incorrectly use the file->private_data descriptor instead of ((struct seq_file *)file->private_data)->private pointer, and this can crash the kernel.
