Subject: [PATCH v2 2/5] timer_migration: Improve tracing

Trace points of inactive and active propagation are located at the end of
the related functions. The interesting information of those trace points is
the updated group state. When trace points are not located directly at the
place where group state changed, order of trace points in traces could be
confusing.

Move inactive and active propagation trace points directly after update of
group state values.

This change is also a preparation to be able to split out update of group
state information easily into a separate function. Which in turn is
required to fix a possible race in setup code.
