Subject: [PATCH] ftrace: only trace preempt off with preempt tracer


When PREEMPT_TRACER and IRQSOFF_TRACER are both configured and irqsoff
tracer is running, the preempt_off sections might also be traced.

Thanks to Andrew Morton for pointing out my mistake of spin_lock disabling
interrupts while he was reviewing ftrace.txt. Seems that my example I used
actually hit this bug.
