[RFC][PATCH 4/4] tracing: Update the documentation to describe "event-fork" option

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3375 bytes --]

From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Add documentation to the ftrace.txt file in Documentation to describe the
event-fork option. Also add the missing "display-graph" option now that it
shows up in the trace_options file (from a previous commit).
