This contains 4 fixes.

The first two fix the case where full RCU debugging is enabled, enabling
 function tracing causes a live lock of the system. This is due to the added
 debug checks in rcu_dereference_raw() that is used by the function tracer.
 These checks are also traced by the function tracer as well as cause enough
 overhead to the function tracer to slow down the system enough that
 the time to finish an interrupt can take longer than when the next
 interrupt is triggered, causing a live lock from the timer interrupt.
 
 Talking this over with Paul McKenney, we came up with a fix that adds
 a new rcu_dereference_raw_notrace() that does not perform these added checks,
 and let the function tracer use that.
 
 The third commit fixes a failed compile when branch tracing is enabled,
 due to the conversion of the trace_test_buffer() selftest that the
 branch trace wasn't converted for.
 
 The forth patch fixes a bug caught by the RCU lockdep code where a
 rcu_read_lock() is performed when rcu is disabled (either going to
 or from idle, or user space). This happened on the irqsoff tracer
 as it calls task_uid(). The fix here was to use current_uid() when
 possible that doesn't use rcu locking. Which luckily, is always used
 when irqsoff calls this code.
