Subject: [12/25] trace: Fix inappropriate substraction on tracing_pages_allocated in trace_free_page()

2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Wang Sheng-Hui <crosslonelyover@...il.com>

[No matching upstream git commit id as it was fixed differently due to a
rewrite of the tracing code there.]

For normal case, the code in trace_free_page() do once more substraction
on tracing_pages_allocated, but for CONFIG_TRACER_MAX_TRACE  it doesn't
take the freed page into account. That's not consistent with
trace_alloc_page().  Well, for there are no message related with this,
so we cannot observe its incorrect state when the kernel doesn't define
"CONFIG_TRACER_MAX_TRACE". If you add some pr_info() as
trace_alloc_page(), you may notice it.
