Subject: [PATCH 0/2] tracing: Clean up of set_tracer_flag()

The set_tracer_flag() function takes a mask that has a single bit set.
It then goes through a bunch of "if ()" statements looking at what the
mask is to perform the necessary operations. It is simpler to switch that
over to a "switch ()" statement.

Steven Rostedt (2):
      tracing: Exit out immediately after update_marker_trace()
      tracing: Use switch statement instead of ifs in set_tracer_flag()
