Function graph uses a subops and manager ops mechanism to attach to ftrace. The manager ops connects to ftrace and the functions it connects to is defined by a list of subops that it manages.
The function hash that defines what the above ops attaches to limits the functions to attach if the hash has any content. If the hash is empty, it means to trace all functions.
The creation of the manager ops hash is done by iterating over all the subops hashes. If any of the subops hashes is empty, it means that the manager ops hash must trace all functions as well.
The issue is in the creation of the manager ops. When a second subops is attached, a new hash is created by starting it as NULL and adding the subops one at a time. But the NULL ops is mistaken as an empty hash, and once an empty hash is found, it stops the loop of subops and just enables all functions.

Fix this by initializing the new hash to NULL and if the hash is NULL do not treat it as an empty hash but instead allocate by copying the content of the first sub ops. Then on subsequent iterations, the new hash will not be NULL, but the content of the previous subops. If that first subops attached to all functions, then new hash may assume that the manager ops also needs to attach to all functions.

- Have append_hashes() return EMPTY_HASH and not NULL if the resulting new hash is empty.
