tracing: Add "traceoff" flag to boot time tracing instances

Add a "flags" delimiter (^) to the "trace_instance" kernel command line
parameter, and add the "traceoff" flag. The format is:

   trace_instance=<name>[^<flag1>[^<flag2>]][@<memory>][,<events>]

The code allows for more than one flag to be added, but currently only
"traceoff" is done so.

The motivation for this change came from debugging with the persistent
ring buffer and having trace_printk() writing to it. The trace_printk
calls are always enabled, and the boot after the crash was having the
unwanted trace_printks from the current boot inject into the ring buffer
with the trace_printks of the crash kernel, making the output very
confusing.
