Subject: [for-next][PATCH 01/18] tracing: Only allow trace_array_printk() to be used by instances

From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@...dmis.org>

To prevent default "trace_printks()" from spamming the top level tracing
ring buffer, only allow trace instances to use trace_array_printk() (which
can be used without the trace_printk() start up warning).
