ftrace: trace_entries to dynamically change trace buffer size

This patch adds /debug/tracing/trace_entries that allows users to
see as well as modify the number of trace entries the buffers hold.

The number of entries only increments in ENTRIES_PER_PAGE which is
calculated by the size of an entry with the number of entries that
can fit in a page. The user does not need to use an exact size, but
the entries will be rounded to one of the increments.

Trying to set the entries to 0 will return with -EINVAL.

To avoid race conditions, the modification of the buffer size can only
be done when tracing is completely disabled (current_tracer == none).
A info message will be printed if a user tries to modify the buffer size
when not set to none.
