function-graph: only allocate init tasks if it was not already done

When the function graph tracer is enabled, it calls the initialization
needed for the init tasks that would be called on all created tasks.

The problem is that this is called every time the function graph tracer
is enabled, and the ret_stack is allocated for the idle tasks each time.
Thus, the old ret_stack is lost and a memory leak is created.

This is also dangerous because if an interrupt happened on another CPU
with the init task and the ret_stack is replaced, we then lose all the
return pointers for the interrupt, and a crash would take place.

[ Impact: fix memory leak and possible crash due to race ]
