[PATCH V3 07/11] rtla: Start the tracers after creating all instances

[Daniel Bristot de Oliveira]

Group all start tracing after finishing creating all instances.

The tracing instance starts first for the case of hitting a stop
tracing while enabling other instances. The trace instance is the
one with most valuable information.
