I'm surprised that my tests did not hit this.

I've been running a lot of trace-cmd tests lately (to try and release 3.0!)
and I have osnoise tracer enabled in these tests.

Hmm, it's just a warning that doesn't appear to cause any damage. I just
tried it out, and sure enough it triggered. The problem is that my
trace-cmd tests do not check dmesg :-/  Maybe I need to change that, as I
only looked at the result of the test, and because the tests spits out a
lot of noise to dmesg, I can easily miss warnings there. I'll add a test to
look for Call Traces at the end of the test.

Thanks for the report.
