The startup tests for the event tracer also runs with the function
tracer enabled. The "wakeup" version of the trace commit was used
which can grab spinlocks. If a task was preempted by an NMI
that called a function being traced, it could deadlock due to the
function tracer trying to grab the same lock.
Thanks to Frederic Weisbecker for pointing out where the bug was.
