This patch splits trace event initialization in two stages:
 * ftrace enable
 * sysfs event entry creation

This allows to capture trace events from an earlier point
by using 'trace_event' kernel parameter and is important
to trace boot-up allocations.

Note that, in order to enable events at core_initcall,
it's necessary to move init_ftrace_syscalls() from
core_initcall to early_initcall.

Changes from v1:
  * Rework code as requested by Steven.

Changes from v2:
   * Move init_ftrace_syscalls() to early_initcall,
     so syscalls self-test pass.

Changes from v3:
   * Fix issue reported by Steven:
     event_trace_init() now iterates on added events (instead of full array).
     This way we don't create an event dir for events that failed to enable.
