Trim Runaway C/L

C/L is actually trying to do the troubleshooting - first step is to eliminate autopilot false inputs and then if that does not help - trim motor switches go to cut-out.
Should it be the other way around - trim motor switches to cut out first and then troubleshoot if you want.

Especially after the Lion crash when it was widely known that disengaging the autopilot is a pre-condition for erroneous MCAS trim input.
