Steven Rostedt 73c5162aa3 tracing: keep ring buffer to minimum size till used
Impact: less memory impact on systems not using tracer

When the kernel boots up that has tracing configured, it allocates
the default size of the ring buffer. This currently happens to be
1.4Megs per possible CPU. This is quite a bit of wasted memory if
the system is never using the tracer.

The current solution is to keep the ring buffers to a minimum size
until the user uses them. Once a tracer is piped into the current_tracer
the ring buffer will be expanded to the default size. If the user
changes the size of the ring buffer, it will take the size given
by the user immediately.

If the user adds a "ftrace=" to the kernel command line, then the ring
buffers will be set to the default size on initialization.
