tracing: define needed config DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS

Commit 2860cd8a ("livepatch: Use the default ftrace_ops instead of
REGS when ARGS is available") intends to enable config LIVEPATCH when
ftrace with ARGS is available. However, the chain of configs to enable
LIVEPATCH is incomplete, as HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS is available,
but the definition of DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS, combining DYNAMIC_FTRACE
and HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS, needed to enable LIVEPATCH, is missing
in the commit.

Fortunately, ./scripts/checkkconfigsymbols.py detects this and warns:

DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS
Referencing files: kernel/livepatch/Kconfig

So, define the config DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS analogously to the already
existing similar configs, DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS and
DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_DIRECT_CALLS, in ./kernel/trace/Kconfig to connect the
chain of configs.
