Ah right, it's not the recursion from the function tracer that kills
us, it's the recursion from the preempt_enable_notrace() that does...

preempt_schedule_common()
--> traced
preempt_disable_notrace();
preempt_enable_notrace();
(see's NEED_RESCHED set)
preempt_schedule_context();
preempt_schedule_common();
--> traced

etc, etc till boom.
