Oleg Nesterov d027e6a9c8 tracing/perf: Avoid perf_trace_buf_*() in perf_trace_##call() when possible
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.

This removes the overhead for tasks without events associated
with them. For example, "perf record -e sched:sched_switch -p1"
attaches the counter(s) to the single task, but every task in
system will do perf_trace_buf_prepare/submit() just to realize
that it was not attached to this event.

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

With this patch "perf bench sched pipe" shows approximately 4%
improvement when "perf record -p1" runs in parallel, many thanks
to Steven for the testing.
