Tracing is a half of the kernel.h in terms of LOCs, although it's a
self-consistent part.  It is intended for quick debugging purposes and
isn't used by the normal tracing utilities.

Move it to a separate header.  If someone needs to just throw a
trace_printk() in their driver, they will not have to pull all the heavy
tracing machinery.

This is a pure move.
