tracing: generate RCU warnings even when tracepoints are disabled
Dave Jones reported seeing a bug from one of my TLB tracepoints: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140806181801.GA4605@redhat.com I've been running these patches for months and never saw this. But, a big chunk of my testing, especially with all the debugging enabled, was in a vm where intel_idle doesn't work. On the systems where I was using intel_idle, I never had lockdep enabled and this tracepoint on at the same time. This patch ensures that whenever we have lockdep available, we do _some_ RCU activity at the site of the tracepoint, despite whether the tracepoint's condition matches or even if the tracepoint itself is completely disabled. This is a bit of a hack, but it is pretty self-contained. I confirmed that with this patch plus lockdep I get the same splat as Dave Jones did, but without enabling the tracepoint explicitly.
