tracing: Add traceoff_after_boot option
Sometimes tracing is used to debug issues during the boot process. Since the trace buffer has a limited amount of storage, it may be prudent to disable tracing after the boot is finished, otherwise the critical information may be overwritten. With this option, the main tracing buffer will be turned off at the end of the boot process.

traceoff_on_warning

warning is hit. This turns off "tracing_on". Tracing can
