Subject: [PATCH]trace: fix wrong help information about snapshot


Cat snapshot give me:
" tracer: nop

 * Snapshot is freed *

 Snapshot commands:
 echo 0 > snapshot : Clears and frees snapshot buffer
 echo 1 > snapshot : Allocates snapshot buffer, if not already allocated.
                      Takes a snapshot of the main buffer.
 echo 2 > snapshot : Clears snapshot buffer (but does not allocate)
                      (Doesn't have to be '2' works with any number that
                       is not a '0' or '1')"

But after read the code, I found the right information about "echo 2 > snapshot"
should looks like below:

" echo 2 > snapshot : Clears snapshot buffer (but does not free)
                      (Doesn't have to be '2' works with any number that
                       is not a '0' or '1')"
