Subject: [PATCH] ftrace: Unify effect of writing to trace_options and option/*

"echo noglobal-clock > trace_options" can be used to change trace
clock but "echo 0 > options/global-clock" can't. The flag toggling
will be silently accepted without actually changing the clock callback.

We can fix it by using set_tracer_flags() in
trace_options_core_write().

v1->v2: Simplified switch() after Li Zefan <lizf@...fujitsu.com>'s
        suggestion
