When the function graph tracer is activated, it iterates over the task_list
to allocate a stack to store the return addresses.

But the per cpu idle tasks are not iterated by using
do_each_thread / while_each_thread.

So we have to iterate on them manually.

This fixes somes weirdness in the traces and many losses of traces.
Examples on two cpus:

 0)   Xorg-4287    |   2.906 us    |              }
 0)   Xorg-4287    |   3.965 us    |            }
