This includes two fixes

Browse source 
- Bring back context level recursive protection in ring buffer.
    The simpler counter protection failed, due to a path when
    tracing with trace_clock_global() as it could not be reentrant
    and depended on the ring buffer recursive protection to keep that
    from happening.
 
  - Prevent branch profiling when FORTIFY_SOURCE is enabled. It causes
    50 - 60 MB in warning messages. Branch profiling should never be
    run on production systems, so there's no reason that it needs to
    be enabled with FORTIFY_SOURCE.

   needs to be enabled with FORTIFY_SOURCE.

* If for some reason the ring buffer starts to recurse, we

* When the context is determined, the corresponding bit is
* checked and set (if it was set, then a recursion of that context
* happened).
*
* On unlock, we need to clear this bit. To do so, just subtract
* 1 from the current_context and AND it to itself.
