A regression showed up that there's a large delay when enabling

all events. This was prevalent when FTRACE_SELFTEST was enabled which
 enables all events several times, and caused the system bootup to
 pause for over a minute.
 
 This was tracked down to an addition of a synchronize_sched() performed
 when system call tracepoints are unregistered.
 
 The synchronize_sched() is needed between the unregistering of the
 system call tracepoint and a deletion of a tracing instance buffer.
 But placing the synchronize_sched() in the unreg of *every* system call
 tracepoint is a bit overboard. A single synchronize_sched() before
 the deletion of the instance is sufficient.

Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
 "A regression showed up that there's a large delay when enabling all
  events.  This was prevalent when FTRACE_SELFTEST was enabled which
  enables all events several times, and caused the system bootup to
  pause for over a minute.

  This was tracked down to an addition of a synchronize_sched()
