tools lib api fs: Store tracing mountpoint for better error message 

Storing the actual tracing path mountpoint to display correct
error message hint ('Hint:' line). The error hint rediscovers
mountpoints, but it could be different from what we actually
used in tracing path.

Before we'd display debugfs mount even though tracefs was used:
  $ perf record -e sched:sched_krava ls
  event syntax error: 'sched:sched_krava'
                       \___ can't access trace events

  Error:  No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_krava
  Hint:   Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug'
  ...

After this change, correct mountpoint is displayed:
  $ perf record -e sched:sched_krava ls
  event syntax error: 'sched:sched_krava'
                       \___ can't access trace events

  Error:  No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_krava
  Hint:   Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing'
  ...
