tracing, x86/irq: Do not trace arch_local_{*,irq_*}() functions

Browse Source 
I triggered a triple fault with gcc 4.5.1 because it did not
honor the inline annotation to arch_local_save_flags() function
and that function was added to the pool of functions traced by
the function tracer.

When preempt_schedule() called arch_local_save_flags() (called
by irqs_disabled()), it was traced, but the first thing the
function tracer does is disable preemption. When it enables
preemption, the NEED_RESCHED flag will not have been cleared and
the preemption check will trigger the call to preempt_schedule()
again.

Although the dynamic function tracer crashed immediately, the
static version of the function tracer (CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE is
not set) actually was able to show where the problem was.

 swapper-1       3.N.. 103885us : arch_local_save_flags <-preempt_schedule
 swapper-1       3.N.. 103886us : arch_local_save_flags <-preempt_schedule
 swapper-1       3.N.. 103886us : arch_local_save_flags <-preempt_schedule
 swapper-1       3.N.. 103887us : arch_local_save_flags <-preempt_schedule
 swapper-1       3.N.. 103887us : arch_local_save_flags <-preempt_schedule
 swapper-1       3.N.. 103888us : arch_local_save_flags <-preempt_schedule
 swapper-1       3.N.. 103888us : arch_local_save_flags <-preempt_schedule

It went on for a while before it triple faulted with a corrupted
stack.

The arch_local_save_flags and arch_local_irq_* functions should
not be traced. Even though they are marked as inline, gcc may
still make them a function and enable tracing of them.

The simple solution is to just mark them as notrace. I had to
add the <linux/types.h> for this file to include the notrace
tag.
