Subject: [PATCH] tracing/ftrace: add the printk-msg-only option

Impact: display ftrace_printk messages "as is"

By default, ftrace_printk() messages find their output with some other
informations like pid, caller, ...
Sometimes a developer just want to have the ftrace_printk left "as is", without
other information.

This is done by providing a default-off option called printk-msg-only.
To enable it, just do `echo printk-msg-only > /debugfs/tracing/trace_options`

Before the patch:

           <...>-2739  [000]   145.692153: __might_sleep: I'm an ftrace_printk msg in __might_sleep
           <...>-2739  [000]   145.692155: __might_sleep: I'm another ftrace_printk msg in __might_sleep

After the patch and the printk-msg-only option enabled:

I'm an ftrace_printk msg in __might_sleep
I'm another ftrace_printk msg in __might_sleep
