From: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rost...@goodmis.org>
Commit c0f4dfd4f90 ("rcu: Make RCU_FAST_NO_HZ take advantage of
numbered callbacks") removed the only instances of trace_rcu_prep_idle,
but did not remove the TRACE_EVENT() that creates it. As defined trace
events take up memory within the kernel even when they are not used,
this is a waste of space. Remove the obsolete event.

- * Tracepoint for RCU preparation for idle, the goal being to get RCU

- *
- * "No callbacks": Nothing to do, no callbacks on this CPU.
- * "In holdoff": Nothing to do, holding off after unsuccessful attempt.
- * "Begin holdoff": Attempt failed, don't retry until next jiffy.
- * "Dyntick with callbacks": Entering dyntick-idle despite callbacks.
- * "Dyntick with lazy callbacks": Entering dyntick-idle w/lazy callbacks.
- * "More callbacks": Still more callbacks, try again to clear them out.
- * "Callbacks drained": All callbacks processed, off to dyntick idle!
- * "Timer": Timer fired to cause CPU to continue processing callbacks.
- * "Demigrate": Timer fired on wrong CPU, woke up correct CPU.
- * "Cleanup after idle": Idle exited, timer canceled.
