tracing: Make a separate config for trace event self tests

Browse source 
The trace event self tests enable loop through *all* events, enables each
one, one at a time, runs some code to trigger various events (not
necessarily the same events), and checks if anything went wrong. The issue
is that trace events are usually the least likely start up test to cause a
problem, but they take the longest to run (because there are so many
events). When one of the other tests trigger a bug, the trace event start up
tests causes the bisect to take much longer, because it takes 10s of seconds
to get through the trace event tests.

By making them a separate config (even though they are enabled by default if
start up tests are set), it is possible to turn them off and still run the
other tracing start up tests much quicker.

help
This option performs a test on all trace events in the system.
It basically just enables each event and runs some code that
will trigger events (not necessarily the event it enables)
This may take some time run as there are a lot of events.
config EVENT_TRACE_TEST_SYSCALLS
bool "Run selftest on syscall events"

depends on EVENT_TRACE_STARTUP_TEST
help
This option will also enable testing every syscall event.
It only enables the event and disables it and runs various loads
