Linus Torvalds 7558009751 Fengguang Wu discovered a crash that happened to be because of the branch 
tracer (traces unlikely and likely branches) when enabled with certain
 debug options.
 
 What happened was that various debug options like lockdep and DEBUG_PREEMPT
 can cause parts of the branch tracer to recurse outside its recursion
 protection. In fact, part of its recursion protection used these features
 that caused the lockup. This cleans up the code a little and makes the
 recursion protection a bit more robust.
