Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Fix wakeup tracers on failure of acquiring
 calltime

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@...dmis.org>

The functions wakeup_graph_entry() and wakeup_graph_return() both call
func_prolog_preempt_disable() that will test if the data->disable is
already set and if not, increment it and disable preemption. If it was
set, it returns false and the caller exits.

The caller of this function must decrement the disable counter, but misses
doing so if the calltime fails to be acquired.

Instead of exiting out when calltime is NULL, change the logic to do the
work if it is not NULL and still do the clean up at the end of the
function if it is NULL.
