function-graph: add memory barriers for accessing task's ret_stack

Browse Source 
The code that handles the tasks ret_stack allocation for every task
assumes that only an interrupt can cause issues (even though interrupts
are disabled).

In reality, the code is allocating the ret_stack for tasks that may be
running on other CPUs and there are not efficient memory barriers to
handle this case.

[ Impact: prevent crash due to using of uninitialized ret_stack variables ]
