tracer (traces unlikely and likely branches) when enabled with certain
debug options.
What happened was that various debug options like lockdep and DEBUG_PREEMPT
can cause parts of the branch tracer to recurse outside its recursion
protection. In fact, part of its recursion protection used these features
that caused the lockup. This cleans up the code a little and makes the
recursion protection a bit more robust.
