Subject: [PATCH v2] tracing: make tracer_init_tracefs initcall asynchronous

Move trace_eval_init() to subsys_initcall to make it start
earlier.
And to avoid tracer_init_tracefs being blocked by
trace_event_sem which trace_eval_init() hold [1],
queue tracer_init_tracefs() to eval_map_wq to let
the two works being executed sequentially.

It can speed up the initialization of kernel as result
of making tracer_init_tracefs asynchronous.

On my arm64 platform, it reduce ~20ms of 125ms which total
time do_initcalls spend.
