Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
 "Ring-buffer fix: do not have boot-mapped buffers use CPU hotplug
  callbacks

  When a ring buffer is mapped to memory assigned at boot, it also
  splits it up evenly between the possible CPUs. But the allocation code
  still attached a CPU notifier callback to this ring buffer. When a CPU
  is added, the callback will happen and another per-cpu buffer is
  created for the ring buffer.

  But for boot mapped buffers, there is no room to add another one (as
  they were all created already). The result of calling the CPU hotplug
  notifier on a boot mapped ring buffer is unpredictable and could lead
  to a system crash.

  If the ring buffer is boot mapped simply do not attach the CPU
  notifier to it"
