Subject: tracing: Fix selftest function recursion accounting
From: Steven Rostedt <[email protected]>
commit 05cbbf643b8eea1be21082c53cdb856d1dc6d765 upstream.
The test that checks function recursion does things differently
if the arch does not support all ftrace features. But that really
doesn't make a difference with how the test runs, and either way
the count variable should be 2 at the end.
Currently the test wrongly fails for archs that don't support all
the ftrace features.
