Since the function graph tracer needs to disable preemption, it might
call preempt_schedule() after reenabling  it if something triggered the
need for rescheduling in between.

Therefore we can't trace preempt_schedule() itself because we would
face a function tracing recursion otherwise as the tracer is always
called before PREEMPT_ACTIVE gets set to prevent that recursion. This is
why preempt_schedule() is tagged as "notrace".

But the same issue applies to every function called by preempt_schedule()
before PREEMPT_ACTIVE is actually set. And preempt_schedule_common() is
one such example. Unfortunately we forgot to tag it as notrace as well
and as a result we are encountering tracing recursion since it got
introduced by:

   a18b5d0181923 ("sched: Fix missing preemption opportunity")

Let's fix that by applying the appropriate function tag to
preempt_schedule_common().
