tracing: Add trace_trigger kernel command line option

Allow triggers to be enabled at kernel boot up. For example:

  trace_trigger="sched_switch.stacktrace if prev_state == 2"

The above will enable the stacktrace trigger on top of the sched_switch
event and only trigger if its prev_state is 2 (TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE). Then
at boot up, a stacktrace will trigger and be recorded in the tracing ring
buffer every time the sched_switch happens where the previous state is
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE.

Another useful trigger would be "traceoff" which can stop tracing on an
event if a field of the event matches a certain value defined by the
filter ("if" statement).
