From lib/Kconfig.debug:

	config PROVE_LOCKING
		bool "Lock debugging: prove locking correctness"
		......
		select TRACE_IRQFLAGS

you can find locking prove does need to enable TRACE_IRQFLAGS. Meantime,
we may not enable irq off tracer via below:
	
	Kernel hacking  --->
		Tracers  --->
			[ ]   Interrupts-off Latency Tracer	

so making this depend on CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS is reasonable.
