The canonical location for the tracefs filesystem is at /sys/kernel/tracing.
But, from Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst:
Before 4.1, all ftrace tracing control files were within the debugfs
file system, which is typically located at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing.
For backward compatibility, when mounting the debugfs file system,
the tracefs file system will be automatically mounted at:
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing
Many parts of Documentation still reference this older debugfs path, so
let's update them to avoid confusion.

This fixes the Sphinx parallel build error when building htmldocs:
docutils.utils.SystemMessage: /home/sfr/next/next/Documentation/trace/histogram-design.rst:219: (SEVERE/4) Unexpected section title.
It also fixes a bunch of other warnings I noticed when fixing the
above, caused by mixing ascii-art and text.

There's a few typos in the histogram-design.rst document that need need to

Add a new Documentation/trace/histogram-design.rst file describing the
ftrace histogram low-level design, meant to help developers trying to
understand the internals when extending or making use of the hist
triggers for higher-level tools.
This documentation refers to the hist_debug files implemented by
'tracing: Add hist_debug trace event files for histogram debugging' so
users wishing to try out the test examples here should make sure
CONFIG_HIST_TRIGGERS_DEBUG is enabled.
