[PATCH v2] tracing: Apply tracer specific options from kernel command line.

[Jiaxing Wang]

Currently, the trace_options parameter is only applied in
tracer_alloc_buffers() when global_trace.current_trace is nop_trace,
so a tracer specific option will not be applied even when the specific
tracer is also enabled from kernel command line. For example, the
'func_stack_trace' option can't be enabled with the following kernel
parameter:

  ftrace=function ftrace_filter=kfree trace_options=func_stack_trace

We can enable tracer specific options by simply apply the options again
if the specific tracer is also supplied from command line and started
in register_tracer().

To make trace_boot_options_buf can be parsed again, a comma and a space
is put back if they were replaced by strsep and strstrip respectively.

Also make register_tracer() be __init to access the __init data, and
in fact register_tracer is only called from __init code.
