[for-next][PATCH 25/26] tracing/boot, kprobe, synth: Initialize boot-time tracing earlier

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>

Initialize boot-time tracing in core_initcall_sync instead of
fs_initcall, and initialize required tracers (kprobes and synth)
in core_initcall. This will allow the boot-time tracing to trace
__init code from the beginning of postcore_initcall stage.
