tracing: Add trace_options kernel command line parameter
Add trace_options to the kernel command line parameter to be able to
set options at early boot. For example, to enable stack dumps of
events, add the following:
trace_options=stacktrace
This along with the trace_event option, you can get not only
traces of the events but also the stack dumps with them.
