ftrace: user run time file reading
This patch creates a file called trace_pipe in the tracing debug directory. This file is a consumer of the trace buffers. This means that reads of this file consumes the entries from the trace buffers so that they will not be read a second time, as contrast to the static buffers latency_trace and trace. Reading from the trace_pipe will remove the entries from trace and latency_trace too. The advantage that trace_pipe has is that it can record live traces. It will block when there is nothing in the buffer, and read the entries as they are entered. An EOF happens when tracing is disabled (tracing_enabled = 0).
