[PATCH 1/2] tracing/core: make the per cpu trace files in per cpu directories

[Frederic Weisbecker]

Impact: scale per cpu tracing

The per cpu trace files are all in a single directory: /debug/tracing/per_cpu.
In case of a large number of cpu, the content of this directory becomes messy
so we create now one directory per cpu inside /debug/tracing/per_cpu which contain
each their own trace_pipe and trace files.

Ie:

nobody@nowhere:/debug/tracing$ ls -R per_cpu
per_cpu:
cpu0  cpu1

per_cpu/cpu0:
trace  trace_pipe

per_cpu/cpu1:
trace  trace_pipe
