From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

Tracing can be very helpful to debug the kernel. When DEBUG_KERNEL is
enabled it is nice to enable the trace menu as well.

This patch only make the tracing menu enabled by default, it does not
make any of the tracers enabled. And the menu is only enabled by
default if DEBUG_KERNEL is enabled.

[ Impact: show tracing options to those debugging the kernel ]
