tracing: Make sure RCU is watching before calling a stack trace
As stack tracing now requires "rcu watching", force RCU to be watching when recording a stack trace. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170512172449.879684501@goodmis.org Acked-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
