[PATCH v2 1/2] tracing: allow disabling compilation of specific trace systems

[Tal Shorer <tal.shorer@gmail.com>]

Allow a trace events header file to disable compilation of its
trace events by defining the preprocessor macro NOTRACE.

This could be done, for example, according to a Kconfig option.
