Merge tag 'trace-3.11-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

Pull tracing fixes and cleanups from Steven Rostedt:
 "This contains fixes, optimizations and some clean ups

  Some of the fixes need to go back to 3.10.  They are minor, and deal
  mostly with incorrect ref counting in accessing event files.

  There was a couple of optimizations that should have perf perform a
  bit better when accessing trace events.

  And some various clean ups.  Some of the clean ups are necessary to
  help in a fix to a theoretical race between opening a event file and
  deleting that event"
