[for-next-3.11][PATCH 04/12] tracing/function: Avoid perf_trace_buf_*() ifevent_function.perf_events is empty

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>

perf_trace_buf_prepare() + perf_trace_buf_submit(head, task => NULL)
make no sense if hlist_empty(head). Change perf_ftrace_function_call()
to check event_function.perf_events beforehand.
