Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 6/6] tracing: Fix tp_printk option related with tp_printk_stop_on_boot

From: JaeSang Yoo <js.yoo.5b@...il.com>

The kernel parameter "tp_printk_stop_on_boot" starts with "tp_printk" which is
the same as another kernel parameter "tp_printk". If "tp_printk" setup is
called before the "tp_printk_stop_on_boot", it will override the latter
and keep it from being set.

This is similar to other kernel parameter issues, such as:
  Commit 745a600cf1a6 ("um: console: Ignore console= option")
or init/do_mounts.c:45 (setup function of "ro" kernel param)

Fix it by checking for a "_" right after the "tp_printk" and if that
exists do not process the parameter.
