Subject: [PATCH 1/2] btrfs: drop trace_btrfs_all_work_done() from normal_work_helper()

For btrfs_scrubparity_helper() the ->func() is set to
scrub_parity_bio_endio_worker(). This functions invokes
scrub_free_parity() which kfrees() the `work' object. All is good as
long as trace events are not enabled because we boom with a backtrace
like this:
| Workqueue: btrfs-endio btrfs_endio_helper
| RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff812f81ae>]  [<ffffffff812f81ae>] trace_event_raw_event_btrfs__work__done+0x4e/0xa0
| Call Trace:
|  [<ffffffff8136497d>] btrfs_scrubparity_helper+0x59d/0x780
|  [<ffffffff81364c49>] btrfs_endio_helper+0x9/0x10
|  [<ffffffff8108af8e>] process_one_work+0x26e/0x7b0
|  [<ffffffff8108b516>] worker_thread+0x46/0x560
|  [<ffffffff81091c4e>] kthread+0xee/0x110
|  [<ffffffff818e166a>] ret_from_fork+0x2a/0x40

So in order to avoid this, I remove the trace point.
