tools lib api debugfs: Check for tracefs when reporting errors
Now that we have two mountpoints, one for debugfs and another, for
tracefs, we end up needing to check permissions for both, so, on
a system with default config we were always asking the user to
check the permission of the debugfs mountpoint, even when it was
already sufficient. Fix it.
E.g.:
$ trace -e nanosleep usleep 1
Error: No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/raw_syscalls/sys_(enter|exit)
Hint: Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug'
$ sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug
$ trace -e nanosleep usleep 1
Error: No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/raw_syscalls/sys_(enter|exit)
Hint: Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing'
$ sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
$ trace -e nanosleep usleep 1
0.326 ( 0.061 ms): usleep/11961 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffef1081c50) = 0
