Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 7/7] tracing: Fix warning in trace_buffered_event_disable()

From: Zheng Yejian <zhengyejian1@...wei.com>

Warning happened in trace_buffered_event_disable() at
  WARN_ON_ONCE(!trace_buffered_event_ref)

  Call Trace:
   ? __warn+0xa5/0x1b0
   ? trace_buffered_event_disable+0x189/0x1b0
   __ftrace_event_enable_disable+0x19e/0x3e0
   free_probe_data+0x3b/0xa0
   unregister_ftrace_function_probe_func+0x6b8/0x800
   event_enable_func+0x2f0/0x3d0
   ftrace_process_regex.isra.0+0x12d/0x1b0
   ftrace_filter_write+0xe6/0x140
   vfs_write+0x1c9/0x6f0
   [...]

The cause of the warning is in __ftrace_event_enable_disable(),
trace_buffered_event_enable() was called once while
trace_buffered_event_disable() was called twice.
Reproduction script show as below, for analysis, see the comments:
 ```
 #!/bin/bash

 cd /sys/kernel/tracing/

 # 1. Register a 'disable_event' command, then:
 #    1) SOFT_DISABLED_BIT was set;
 #    2) trace_buffered_event_enable() was called first time;
 echo 'cmdline_proc_show:disable_event:initcall:initcall_finish' > \
     set_ftrace_filter

 # 2. Enable the event registered, then:
 #    1) SOFT_DISABLED_BIT was cleared;
 #    2) trace_buffered_event_disable() was called first time;
 echo 1 > events/initcall/initcall_finish/enable

 # 3. Try to call into cmdline_proc_show(), then SOFT_DISABLED_BIT was
 #    set again!!!
 cat /proc/cmdline

 # 4. Unregister the 'disable_event' command, then:
 #    1) SOFT_DISABLED_BIT was cleared again;
 #    2) trace_buffered_event_disable() was called second time!!!
 echo '!cmdline_proc_show:disable_event:initcall:initcall_finish' > \
     set_ftrace_filter
 ```

To fix it, IIUC, we can change to call trace_buffered_event_enable() at
fist time soft-mode enabled, and call trace_buffered_event_disable() at
last time soft-mode disabled.
