You would not mind me converting this to a tracepoint so that other
tracers could tap into this.

We could eliminate this global variable with the tracepoint.

If we keep this global, it would be better to have it after you set the
TIF_SYSCALL_FTRACE flag, otherwise your traces might look funny. With some
tasks being traced and others not.
