Subject: [PATCH 7/5] tracing: Make sure rcu_irq_enter() can work for
 trace_*_rcuidle() trace events

From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@...dmis.org>

Stack tracing discovered that there's a small location inside the RCU
infrastructure that calling rcu_irq_enter() does not work. As trace events
use rcu_irq_enter() it must make sure that it is functionable. A check
against rcu_irq_enter_disabled() is added with a WARN_ON_ONCE() as no trace
event should ever be used in that part of RCU. If the warning is triggered,
then the trace event is ignored.
