tracepoints: Do not trace when cpu is offline

[ Upstream commit f37755490fe9bf76f6ba1d8c6591745d3574a6a6 ]

The tracepoint infrastructure uses RCU sched protection to enable and
disable tracepoints safely. There are some instances where tracepoints are
used in infrastructure code (like kfree()) that get called after a CPU is
going offline, and perhaps when it is coming back online but hasn't been
registered yet.

This can probuce the following warning:

 [ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ]
 4.4.0-00006-g0fe53e8-dirty #34 Tainted: G S
 -------------------------------
 include/trace/events/kmem.h:141 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

 other info that might help us debug this:

 RCU used illegally from offline CPU!  rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 1
 no locks held by swapper/8/0.

This warning is not a false positive either. RCU is not protecting code that
is being executed while the CPU is offline.

Instead of playing "whack-a-mole(TM)" and adding conditional statements to
the tracepoints we find that are used in this instance, simply add a
cpu_online() test to the tracepoint code where the tracepoint will be
ignored if the CPU is offline.

Use of raw_smp_processor_id() is fine, as there should never be a case where
the tracepoint code goes from running on a CPU that is online and suddenly
gets migrated to a CPU that is offline.
