Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) b5aa3a472b ftrace: Have control op function callback only trace when RCU is watching
Dave Jones reported that trinity would be able to trigger the following
back trace:

 ===============================
 [ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ]
 3.10.0-rc2+ #38 Not tainted
 -------------------------------
 include/linux/rcupdate.h:771 rcu_read_lock() used illegally while idle!
 other info that might help us debug this:

 RCU used illegally from idle CPU!  rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0
 RCU used illegally from extended quiescent state!

 ------------[ cut here ]------------

Perf uses rcu_read_lock() but as the function tracer can trace functions
even when RCU is not currently active, this makes the rcu_read_lock()
used by perf ineffective.

As perf is currently the only user of the ftrace_ops_control_func() and
perf is also the only function callback that actively uses rcu_read_lock(),
the quick fix is to prevent the ftrace_ops_control_func() from calling
its callbacks if RCU is not active.

With Paul's new "rcu_is_watching()" we can tell if RCU is active or not.
