I just thought about the fact that tracing records the context of the
function it is called in. If you set "in_nmi()" for all ftrace handlers,
then all functions will look like they are in an NMI context during tracing.

That is, the preempt count is checked to fill in the flags in the ring
buffer that denotes what context the event (in this case the function) was
called in.
