tracing: Add creation of instances at boot command line

Add kernel command line to add tracing instances. This only creates
instances at boot but still does not enable any events to them. Later
changes will extend this command line to add enabling of events, filters,
and triggers. As well as possibly redirecting trace_printk()!
