[PATCH] rcu,ftrace: Fix ftrace recursion

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Tue Sep 29 2020 - 08:24:17 EST



Kim reported that perf-ftrace made his box unhappy. It turns out that
commit:

ff5c4f5cad33 ("rcu/tree: Mark the idle relevant functions noinstr")

removed one too many notrace. Probably due to there not being a helpful
comment.

Reinstate the notrace and add a comment to avoid loosing it again.

Fixes: ff5c4f5cad33 ("rcu/tree: Mark the idle relevant functions noinstr")
