Subject: [RFC/PATCH] Prevent wasting time to find out get_parent_ip

trace_preempt_on/off looks empty if PREEMPT_TRACER is off. But actually it is
spending time to find out get_parent_ip(even CALLER_ADDR for some ARCH) which is
in argument. This seems not fair for those who expect to do nothing but increase
or decrease count.
