We probably want to add a "tracing_dl" variable, and do the test like
this:

	if (!tracer_enabled || tracing_dl ||
	    (!dl_task(p) && p->prio >= wakeup_prio))

and for the first if statement too. Otherwise if two dl tasks are
running on two different CPUs, the second will override the first. Once
you start tracing a dl_task, you shouldn't bother tracing another task
until that one wakes up.

	if (dl_task(p))
		tracing_dl = 1;
	else
		tracing_dl = 0;
