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.
