Subject: [PATCH v3] tracing: Ignore mmiotrace from kernel commandline

From: "Ziqian SUN (Zamir)" <zsun@...hat.com>

The mmiotrace tracer cannot be enabled with ftrace=mmiotrace in kernel
commandline. With this patch, noboot is added to the tracer struct,
and when system boot with a tracer that has noboot=true, it will print
out a warning message and continue booting.

Signed-off-by: Ziqian SUN (Zamir) <zsun@...hat.com>

v1 -> v2 : remove unessential comment
v2 -> v3 : Use tracer struct instead of a separate list to store noboot
