tracing/ring-buffer: Add last_boot_info file to boot instance

If an instance is mapped to memory on boot up, create a new file called
"last_boot_info" that will hold information that can be used to properly
parse the raw data in the ring buffer.

It will export the delta of the addresses for text and data from what it
was from the last boot. It does not expose actually addresses (unless you
knew what the actual address was from the last boot).

The output will look like:

 # cat last_boot_info
 text delta:	-268435456
 data delta:	-268435456

The text and data are kept separate in case they are ever made different.
