ftrace: move sched_switch enable after markers

We have two markers now that are enabled on sched_switch. One that records
the context switching and the other that records task wake ups. Currently
we enable the tracing first and then set the markers. This causes some
confusing traces:

# tracer: sched_switch
#
#           TASK-PID   CPU#    TIMESTAMP  FUNCTION
#              | |      |          |         |
       trace-cmd-3973  [00]   115.834817:   3973:120:R   +     3:  0:S
       trace-cmd-3973  [01]   115.834910:   3973:120:R   +     6:  0:S
       trace-cmd-3973  [02]   115.834910:   3973:120:R   +     9:  0:S
       trace-cmd-3973  [03]   115.834910:   3973:120:R   +    12:  0:S
       trace-cmd-3973  [02]   115.834910:   3973:120:R   +     9:  0:S
          <idle>-0     [02]   115.834910:      0:140:R ==>  3973:120:R

Here we see that trace-cmd with PID 3973 wakes up task 9 but the next line
shows the idle task doing a context switch to task 3973.

Enabling the tracing to _after_ the markers are set creates a much saner
output:

# tracer: sched_switch
#
#           TASK-PID   CPU#    TIMESTAMP  FUNCTION
#              | |      |          |         |
          <idle>-0     [02]  7922.634225:      0:140:R ==>  4790:120:R
       trace-cmd-4789  [03]  7922.634225:      0:140:R   +  4790:120:R
