No, it belongs in this patch, because you are removing:

	[ -f set_ftrace_filter ] && echo | tee set_ftrace_*

which is equivalent to:

	[ -f set_ftrace_filter ] && echo > set_ftrace_filter
	[ -f set_ftrace_filter ] && echo > set_ftrace_notrace

as the "tee set_ftrace_*" covers both.

Without this change, this patch removes the update to
set_ftrace_notrace.
