tracing: Use the perf recursion protection from trace event
When we commit a trace to perf, we first check if we are
recursing in the same buffer so that we don't mess-up the buffer
with a recursing trace. But later on, we do the same check from
perf to avoid commit recursion. The recursion check is desired
early before we touch the buffer but we want to do this check
only once.
Then export the recursion protection from perf and use it from
the trace events before submitting a trace.
