tracing: report error in trace if we fail to swap latency buffer
The irqsoff tracer will fail to swap the cpu buffer with the max
buffer if it preempts a commit. Instead of ignoring this, this patch
makes the tracer report it if the last max latency failed due to preempting
a current commit.
The output of the latency tracer will look like this:
# tracer: irqsoff
#
# irqsoff latency trace v1.1.5 on 2.6.31-rc5
# --------------------------------------------------------------------

bash-4281 1d.s6 265us : update_max_tr_single: Failed to swap buffers due to commit in progress
Note the latency time and the functions that disabled the irqs or preemption
will still be listed.
