Yes, this is what I concerned previously. If someone
want to track the change of usage_count, then he might
have to enable both trace rpm_usage and rpm_idle so
as to track the moment when the counter drops from 1 to
0. It might be more consistent if we only enable
trace rpm_usage to track the whole process.

This patch intends to adjust the logic to be consistent with
the change of usage_counter, that is to say, only after the
counter has been possibly modified, we record it. In current
logic above, it tracks the usage count where the latter does
not change.
