Subject: [PATCH] tracing/kprobes: Simplify the logic of
 enable_trace_kprobe()


[ Note this is applied on top of the other patch to quiet gcc ]

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

The function enable_trace_kprobe() performs slightly differently if the file
parameter is passed in as NULL on non-NULL. Instead of checking file twice,
move the code between the two tests into a static inline helper function to
make the code easier to follow.
