[PATCH 2/6] tracing/function-graph-tracer: Drop the useless nmi protection

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Wed Jul 29 2009 - 13:14:29 EST


The function graph tracer used to have a protection against NMI
while entering a function entry tracing. But this is useless now,
this tracer is reentrant and the ring buffer supports the NMI tracing.
We can then drop this protection.
