trace: let boot trace be chosen by command line
Now that we have a working ftrace=<tracer> function, make the boot tracer get activated by it. This way we can turn it on or off without recompiling the kernel, as well as keeping the selftests on. The selftests are disabled whenever a default tracer starts running. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
