tracing: Allow to disable cmdline recording

Browse Source 
We found that even enabling a single trace event that will rarely be
triggered can add big overhead to context switch.

(lmbench context switch test)
 -------------------------------------------------
 2p/0K 2p/16K 2p/64K 8p/16K 8p/64K 16p/16K 16p/64K
 ctxsw  ctxsw  ctxsw ctxsw  ctxsw   ctxsw   ctxsw
------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------- -------
  2.19   2.3   2.21   2.56   2.13     2.54    2.07
  2.39   2.51  2.35   2.75   2.27     2.81    2.24

The overhead is 6% ~ 11%.

It's because when a trace event is enabled 3 tracepoints (sched_switch,
sched_wakeup, sched_wakeup_new) will be activated to map pid to cmdname.

We'd like to avoid this overhead, so add a trace option '(no)record-cmd'
to allow to disable cmdline recording.
