fgraph: Skip recording calltime/rettime if it is not nneededtopic/fprobe-on-fgraph

Skip recording calltime and rettime if the fgraph_ops does not need it.
This is a kind of performance optimization for fprobe. Since the fprobe
user does not use these entries, recording timestamp in fgraph is just
a overhead (e.g. eBPF, ftrace). So introduce the skip_timestamp flag,
and all fgraph_ops sets this flag, skip recording calltime and rettime.
