tracing: Use flag buffer_disabled for irqsoff tracer
If the ring buffer is disabled and the irqsoff tracer records a trace it
will clear out its buffer and lose the data it had previously recorded.
Currently there's a callback when writing to the tracing_of file, but if
tracing is disabled via the function tracer trigger, it will not inform
the irqsoff tracer to stop recording.
By using the "mirror" flag (buffer_disabled) in the trace_array, that keeps
track of the status of the trace_array's buffer, it gives the irqsoff
tracer a fast way to know if it should record a new trace or not.
The flag may be a little behind the real state of the buffer, but it
should not affect the trace too much. It's more important for the irqsoff
tracer to be fast.
