MPI_Pcontrol is not working correctly #4

Description

I am setting OPENSS_ENABLE_MPI_PCONTROL=1 and I have the source code instrumented with
// uninteresting region
MPI_Pcontrol(1);
// interesting region
MPI_Pcontrol(0);
// uninteresting region
but I am still seeing routines from the uninteresting regions in the generated profile.

I (Jim G) have verified that MPI_Pcontrol is currently broken. This is what we expect it to do:

Case 1. ossmpi "mpirun -np nbody"
Should see data as it comes out of O|SS normally. All MPI_Pcontrol commands are ignored.
Case 2. CBTF_START_ENABLED=1 ossmpi "mpirun -np nbody"
Should see data as it comes out of O|SS normally. All MPI_Pcontrol commands are ignored because CBTF_ENABLE_MPI_PCONTROL is not set.
Case 3. CBTF_ENABLE_MPI_PCONTROL=1 ossmpi "mpirun -np nbody"
No initial gathering occurs and no gathering starts until MPI_Pcontrol(1) is seen.
If a MPI_Pcontrol (0) is seen, performance gathering stops until MPI_Pcontrol (1) is seen.
So, only the MPI commands that are seen after line 218 should show up

Case 4. CBTF_START_ENABLED=1 CBTF_DEBUG_MPI_PCONTROL=1 ossmpi "mpirun -np nbody"
Performance information is gathered from the beginning of the program.
If a MPI_Pcontrol(0) is seen, performance gathering stops until MPI_Pcontrol (1) is seen.
If a MPI_Pcontrol(1) is seen, performance gathering continues until a MPI_Pcontrol(0) is seen - when it should stop gathering.
So, every MPI command except for the MPI_Isend and MPI_Irecv should show up.
