Subject: [PATCH 1/2] tracing: Fix snapshot counter going between two tracers that use it

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

Running the ftrace selftests caused the ring buffer mapping test to fail.
Investigating, I found that the snapshot counter would be incremented
every time a tracer that uses the snapshot is enabled even if the snapshot
was used by the previous tracer.

That is:

 # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
 # echo wakeup_rt > current_tracer
 # echo wakeup_dl > current_tracer
 # echo nop > current_tracer

would leave the snapshot counter at 1 and not zero. That's because the
enabling of wakeup_dl would increment the counter again but the setting
the tracer to nop would only decrement it once.

Do not arm the snapshot for a tracer if the previous tracer already had it
armed.

Fixes: 16f7e48ffc53a ("tracing: Add snapshot refcount")
