[RFC][BUG] tracer: Fails to work

[Peter Zijlstra]

Hi Steve,

So I was hunting wabbits the other day and ftrace failed to work.

After I cursed a bit on IRC, Thomas found the below, after 'fixing' it
like so things worked enough to get the trace out.

Relying on things like this make it entirely impossible to get any trace
data out if you've wedged a CPU. Exactly the kind of situation you want
trace data for.

Please consider an appropriate change to make this happen.
