[for-next][PATCH 1/7] tracing: Only create tracer options files if directory exists

[Steven Rostedt]

From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Do not bother creating tracer options if no tracing directory
exists. If a tracer is enabled via the command line, and is
started before the tracing directory is created, then it wont have
its tracer specific options created.
