[PATCH 04/16 v2] tracing: Add disable_on_free option

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@xxxxxxxxxx>

Add a trace option to disable tracing on free. When this option is
set, a write into the free_buffer file will not only shrink the
ring buffer down to zero, but it will also disable tracing.
