mmiotrace broken in linux-next (8-bit writes only)

Browse source 
The moment mmiotrace is enabled, I hit a NULL deref in:

IP: [<ffffffff80256e71>] __trace_special+0x17c/0x23a
Call Trace:
 [<ffffffff802573cc>] ftrace_special+0x6f/0x9a

 [<ffffffff8027c6e3>] sys_write+0x47/0x70
 [<ffffffff8020b1db>] system_call_after_swapgs+0x7b/0x80

which means 'entry' in __trace_special() is NULL.

[ mingo@elte.hu: that ftrace_special() was a leftover. ]
