Subject[PATCH 3/3] tracing: rename EVENT_TRACER config to ENABLE_EVENT_TRACING
From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

Currently we have two configs: EVENT_TRACING and EVENT_TRACER.
All tracers enable EVENT_TRACING. The EVENT_TRACER is only a
convenience to enable the EVENT_TRACING when no other tracers
are enabled.

The names EVENT_TRACER and EVENT_TRACING are too similar and confusing.
This patch renames EVENT_TRACER to ENABLE_EVENT_TRACING to be more
appropriate to what it actually does, as well as add a comment in
the help menu to explain the option's purpose.
