Hmm, this seems inconsistent with the other warnings. We have
tep_warning(), tracefs_warning, and here it's tracecmd_lib_warning(). I
wonder if it's better to drop the "_lib" part, and just call it,
tracecmd_warning()?

And if we do, we should rename tracecmd_lib_fatal() to just
tracecmd_fatal(). The "lib" just seems redundant.
