Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Fix pid filtering when triggers are attached

If a event is filtered by pid and a trigger that requires processing of
the event to happen is a attached to the event, the discard portion does
not take the pid filtering into account, and the event will then be
recorded when it should not have been.

I took an attempt to backport this patch to 4.4 but found that so much
has changed, that if anyone really has an issue with this broken in
4.4, I'd highly recommend they upgrade their kernel ;-)
