perf ftrace: Use process/session specific trace settings
Executing 'perf ftrace' commands 'ftrace', 'profile' and 'latency' leave
tracing disabled as can seen in this output:
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_on
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_on
1
# perf ftrace trace --graph-opts depth=5 sleep 0.1 > /dev/null
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_on
0
#
The 'tracing_on' file is not restored to its value before the command.
To fix that this patch uses the .../tracing/instances/XXX subdirectory
feature.
Each 'perf ftrace' invocation creates its own session/process
specific subdirectory and does not change the global state
in the .../tracing directory itself.
Use rmdir(../tracing/instances/dir) to stop process/session specific
tracing and delete all process/session specific setings.
