This needs to be static and inline (I haven't seem external users in this
patchset).

And we want it to be inlined because we save the caller address and the frame
pointer from perf_sw_event(), and a new level of call is not wanted here.

In fact why not moving both tracing calls under this check.
This is going to fix the migrate trace event that gets called
even on "spurious" migrations, and you avoid the duplicate check
in the perf callback.

Thanks.
