The pair of helpers trace_recursive_lock() and trace_recursive_unlock()
have been introduced recently to provide generic tracing recursion
protection.
They are used in a symetric way:
- trace_recursive_lock() on buffer reserve
- trace_recursive_unlock() on buffer commit
However sometimes, we don't commit but discard on entry
to the buffer, ie: in case of filter checking.
Then we must also unlock the recursion protection on discard time,
otherwise the tracing gets definitely deactivated and a warning
is raised spuriously, such as:
