Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Fix issues recording task information

Currently we stop recording task information if any of them error out or are
not being recorded. Further if switching to/from the idle thread, we bail out
early on. Fix these issues.

Hi Steve,
This fix is based on ftrace/core branch at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace.git
Could you pick it up for -rc cycle if it looks good to you? Thanks.
