Oops, I missed that. Thanks for pointing that out, which I thought is
conditional use of rcu_is_watching before.

One last point, I think we should double check on this
     "fentry does not filter with !rcu_is_watching"
as quoted from Yonghong and argue whether it needs
the same check for fentry as well.
Note that trace_test_and_set_recursion() (which is used by
ftrace_test_recursion_trylock()) checks for rcu_is_watching() and
returns false if it isn't (and the trylock will fail).
