Subject: [101/272] tracing: Fix preempt count leak

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

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

From: Li Zefan <lizf@...fujitsu.com>

commit 1dbd1951f39e13da579ffe879cce19586d0462de upstream.

While running my ftrace stress test, this showed up:

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/mmap.c:233
...
note: cat[3293] exited with preempt_count 1

The bug was introduced by commit 91e86e560d0b3ce4c5fc64fd2bbb99f856a30a4e
("tracing: Fix recursive user stack trace")
