Subject: [RFC] tracepoint: fix bad trace value in trace_kvm_exit()

After enabling KVM event tracing, almost all of trace_kvm_exit()'s
printk shows
	"kvm_exit: IRQ: ..."
even if the actual exception_type is NOT IRQ.

This slight problem may have existed after commit e6753f2. There are
two variables in trace_kvm_exit() and __DO_TRACE() which have the
same name, *idx*. Thus the actual value of *idx* will be overwritten
when tracing.

So, what about this stupid patch?
