Subject: [patch V4 part 1 31/36] printk: Disallow instrumenting print_nmi_enter()

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>

It happens early in nmi_enter(), no tracing, probing or other funnies
allowed. Specifically as nmi_enter() will be used in do_debug(), which
would cause recursive exceptions when kprobed.
