tracing: Do not disable tracing when reading the trace file

When opening the "trace" file, it is no longer necessary to disable tracing.

Note, a new option is created called "pause-on-trace", when set, will cause
the trace file to emulate its original behavior.

the trace displays additional information about the
latency, as described in "Latency trace format".
pause-on-trace
When set, opening the trace file for read, will pause
writing to the ring buffer (as if tracing_on was set to zero).
This simulates the original behavior of the trace file.
When the file is closed, tracing will be enabled again.
record-cmd
When any event or tracer is enabled, a hook is enabled
in the sched_switch trace point to fill comm cache
