    tracepoints/module: Fix disabling tracepoints with taint CRAP or OOT · c10076c4
    Steven Rostedt authored
    Tracepoints are disabled for tainted modules, which is usually because the
    module is either proprietary or was forced, and we don't want either of them
    using kernel tracepoints.
    
    But, a module can also be tainted by being in the staging directory or
    compiled out of tree. Either is fine for use with tracepoints, no need
    to punish them.  I found this out when I noticed that my sample trace event
    module, when done out of tree, stopped working.
