Subject: [PATCH 46/48] tracing: Use the ring-buffer nesting to allow synthetic
 events to be traced

Synthetic events can be done within the recording of other events. Notify
the ring buffer via ring_buffer_nest_start() and ring_buffer_nest_end() that
this is intended and not to block it due to its recursion protection.
