[PATCH 2/2] tracing/ring-buffer: unlock recursion protection on discard

[Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>]

The pair of helpers trace_recursive_lock() trace_recursive_unlock()
have been introduced recently to provide a 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 en 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 definetly deactivated
and a warning is raised spuriously, such as:
