[PATCH 3/3] tracing/perf: Avoid perf_trace_buf_*() inperf_trace_##call() when possible

[Oleg Nesterov]

perf_trace_buf_prepare() + perf_trace_buf_submit(task => NULL)
make no sense if hlist_empty(head). Change perf_trace_##call()
to check ->perf_events beforehand and do nothing if it is empty.

However, we can only do this if __task == NULL, so we also add
the __builtin_constant_p(__task) check.
