Subject: [4.4-rt PATCH] trace: use rcuidle version for preemptoff_hist trace point

When running -rt kernel with both PREEMPT_OFF_HIST and LOCKDEP enabled,
the below error is reported:

 [ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ]
 4.4.1-rt6 #1 Not tainted
 include/trace/events/hist.h:31 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

 other info that might help us debug this:

 RCU used illegally from idle CPU!
 rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0
 RCU used illegally from extended quiescent state!
 no locks held by swapper/0/0.

Replace regular trace_preemptoff_hist to rcuidle version to avoid the error.

I recall the rcuidle version is used by 4.1-rt, but not sure why it is dropped
in 4.4-rt. It looks such fix is still needed.
