tracing/syscalls: fix missing release of tracing
Impact: fix 'stuck' syscall tracer
The syscall tracer uses a refcounter to enable several users
simultaneously.
But the refcounter did not behave correctly and always restored
its value to 0 after calling start_syscall_tracing(). Therefore,
stop_syscall_tracing() couldn't release correctly the tasks from
tracing.
Also the tracer forgot to reset the buffer when it is released.
Drop the pointless refcount decrement on start_syscall_tracing()
and reset the buffer when we release the tracer.
This fixes two reported issue:
- when we switch from syscall tracer to another tracer, syscall
tracing continued.
- incorrect use of the refcount.
