bpf: use canonical ftrace path
The canonical location for the tracefs filesystem is at /sys/kernel/tracing.
But, from Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst:
Before 4.1, all ftrace tracing control files were within the debugfs
file system, which is typically located at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing.
For backward compatibility, when mounting the debugfs file system,
the tracefs file system will be automatically mounted at:
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing
Many comments and samples in the bpf code still refer to this older
debugfs path, so let's update them to avoid confusion. There are a few
spots where the bpf code explicitly checks both tracefs and debugfs
(tools/bpf/bpftool/tracelog.c and tools/lib/api/fs/fs.c) and I've left
those alone so that the tools can continue to work with both paths.
