[PATCH 4.4 40/57] tracing: Do not stop recording comms if the trace file is being read

[Sasha Levin]

From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 4fdd595e4f9a1ff6d93ec702eaecae451cfc6591 upstream.

A while ago, when the "trace" file was opened, tracing was stopped, and
code was added to stop recording the comms to saved_cmdlines, for mapping
of the pids to the task name.

Code has been added that only records the comm if a trace event occurred,
and there's no reason to not trace it if the trace file is opened.

Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Fixes: 7ffbd48d5cab2 ("tracing: Cache comms only after an event occurred")
