tracing: Add a no-rcu-check version of trace_##event##_enabled()
Tracepoints require that RCU is watching. To prevent them from being used
in places that RCU is not watching, the trace_##event() macro always
calls rcu_is_watching() even when the event is not enabled and warns if
RCU is not watching. This is to make sure a warning is triggered even if
the tracepoint is never enabled (as it is only a bug when it is).
It was noticed that tracepoints could be hidden within
trace_#event#_enabled() calls, which are used to do extra work for the
tracepoint only if the tracepoint is enabled. But this also can hide the
fact that a tracepoint is placed in a location that can be called when RCU
is not watching.
Commit 9764e731ef6ab ("tracepoint: Add lockdep rcu_is_watching() check to
trace_##name##_enabled()") added a check to the trace_##event##_enabled()
macro to make sure RCU is watching when it is called to make sure not to
hide the bug of a tracepoint being called when RCU is not watching.
There is one case in the irq_disable tracepoint where it is within a
trace_irq_disable_enabled() block, but it checks if RCU is watching, and
if it isn't, it makes a call to ct_irq_enter() that makes RCU watch again.
But because trace_irq_disable_enabled() now checks if RCU is watching and
will trigger if it isn't. This is a false warning as the code within
the block handles this case.
Add a new internal macro __trace_##event##_enabled() that doesn't check if
RCU is watching, and convert the irq_enable/disable tracepoints over to
it.
