I'm guessing the problem is that CONFIG_EVENT_TRACER wasn't selected but
should have been, because those tracers all now export events
(trace_event_types.h, included by trace_export.c).  I'm not sure this is
the right way to do it, but the patch below selects EVENT_TRACER if
TRACING is selected (a couple of the exported events belong to bprint
and print, which don't have a config option other than TRACING, so it
seems to belong there).
