Subject: perf: Handle stopped state with tracepoints
From: Frederic Weisbecker <[email protected]>
commit a0f7d0f7fc02465bb9758501f611f63381792996 upstream.
We toggle the state from start and stop callbacks but actually
don't check it when the event triggers. Do it so that
these callbacks actually work.
