When playing with trace_user_trigger_irq in order to trace
IRQ->userspace latencies, I encountered a bug in the latency tracer. If
I have wakeup_timing enabled and attempt to stop the trace in my
userspace program, the system crashes. This is caused by an unbalanced
preempt_enable() which underflows the preempt count.
