The tracepoint can't be used in code section where we are in the
middle of a state transition.
For example if we place a tracepoint inside start/stop_critical_section(),
lockdep complains with

PeterZ was so kind to explain it to me what is happening:
"__local_bh_enable() tests if this is the last SOFTIRQ_OFFSET, if so it
tells lockdep softirqs are enabled with trace_softirqs_on() after that
we go an actually modify the preempt_count with preempt_count_sub().
Then in preempt_count_sub() you call into trace_preempt_on() if this
was the last preempt_count increment but you do that _before_ you
actually change the preempt_count with __preempt_count_sub() at this
point lockdep and preempt_count think the world differs and *boom*"
So the simplest way to avoid this is by disabling the consistency
checks.
We also need to take care of the iterating in trace_events_trigger.c
to avoid a splatter in conjunction with the hist trigger.
