Subject: [PATCH] nds32: function_graph: Simplify with function_graph_enter()

The function_graph_enter() function does the work of calling the function graph hook function and the management of the shadow stack, simplifying the work done in the architecture dependent prepare_ftrace_return().

Have nds32 use the new code, and remove the shadow stack management as well as having to set up the trace structure.

This is needed to prepare for a fix of a design bug on how the curr_ret_stack is used.
