Subject: [RFC] trace_irqsoff: remove redundant reset per-CPU buff

  There is no reason to do it twice: from commit b6f11df26fdc28
("trace: Call tracing_reset_online_cpus before tracer->init()")
resetting of per-CPU buffers done before tracer->init() call.

tracer->init() calls {irqs,preempt,preemptirqs}off_tracer_init() and it
calls __irqsoff_tracer_init(), which resets per-CPU ringbuffer second
time.
It's slowpath, but anyway.
