tracing: Automatically mount tracefs on debugfs/tracing
As tools currently rely on the tracing directory in debugfs, we can not just created a tracefs infrastructure and expect sysadmins to mount the new tracefs to have their old tools work. Instead, the debugfs tracing directory is still created and the tracefs file system is mounted there when the debugfs filesystem is mounted. No longer does the tracing infrastructure update the debugfs file system, but instead interacts with the tracefs file system. But now, it still appears to the user like nothing changed, except you also have the feature of mounting just the tracing system without needing all of debugfs!
