Subject: [PATCH 2/4] tracing: introduce trace_set_clr_module_event

Trace events belong to a module does exist only when that module is
loaded. While, when the module loaded, we may miss some trace event
happened at the module load time.

This is so true for gpu driver: when X(or shell) is started, you would
be going to miss lots of events. This would be worse when the KMS is
failed.

So, introduce trace_set_clr_module_event function, and do export it.
Trace event then can be enabled on module load by doing something like
follows at your module init function:

char *xxx_trace = NULL;
module_param_named(trace, xxx_trace, charp, 0400);

xxx_init()
{
	....
	if (xxx_trace)
		ret = trace_set_clr_module_event(THIS_MODULE, xxx_trace, 1);
	....
}

where, xxx_trace is a comm separated event list, * for all event in that
module, NO subsystem is needed.
