Juri Lelli 52d85d7630 ftrace: Fix stddev calculation in function profiler
When FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER is enabled, ftrace can profile kernel functions
and print basic statistics about them. Unfortunately, running stddev
calculation is wrong. This patch corrects it implementing Welford’s method:

        s^2 = 1 / (n * (n-1)) * (n * \Sum (x_i)^2 - (\Sum x_i)^2) .
