tracing: Split tracing initialization into two for early initialization

Create an early_trace_init() function that will initialize the buffers and allow for ealier use of trace_printk(). This will also allow for future work to have function tracing start earlier at boot up. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <[email protected]>
