From: Lai Jiangshan on
If we use function graph filter(echo some_functions >> set_graph_function)
we are only interested in the graph of some_functions.

But if a interrupt occurs when these functions are being traced(or preparing),
the graphs of the handlers of this interrupt are also recorded.
These events that we aren't interested in are totally noisy.

This patch remove them(very very seldom noise is still left,
It's OK for tracing, doesn't it?).
