ftrace: disable tracing when current_tracer is set to "none" (2b1bce17) · Commits · 戴 / test

Found that inspite of setting the current_tracer to "none", trace from the previous trace type continued to be collected. The patch below fixes this and causes the trace to be disabled when the "none" type is selected. Compile and boot tested the patch for functionality. Signed-off-by:
