6.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior bigeasy@linutronix.de
commit 57b76bedc5c52c66968183b5ef57234894c25ce7 upstream.
The function tracer should record the preemption level at the point when the function is invoked. If the tracing subsystem decrement the preemption counter it needs to correct this before feeding the data into the trace buffer. This was broken in the commit cited below while shifting the preempt-disabled section.
Use tracing_gen_ctx_dec() which properly subtracts one from the preemption counter on a preemptible kernel.
