Subject: [PATCH] sched/clock: Make local_clock() notrace

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@...dmis.org>

The "perf" clock in /sys/kernel/tracing/trace_clock enables local_clock(),
where on machines that have CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK set is a
normal function. This function can be traced.

I found that enabling the "perf" clock on some debug configs and running
function tracer can live lock the machine. That is, it goes so slow that
nothing moves forward.
