tracing: Disable preemption when using the filter buffer

Browse source

In case trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve() is called with preemption
enabled, the algorithm that defines the usage of the per cpu filter buffer
may fail if the task schedules to another CPU after determining which
buffer it will use.

Disable preemption when using the filter buffer. And because that same
buffer must be used throughout the call, keep preemption disabled until
the filter buffer is released.

This will also keep the semantics between the use case of when the filter
buffer is used, and when the ring buffer itself is used, as that case also
disables preemption until the ring buffer is released.
