tracing: Remove boot tracer
The boot tracer is useless. It simply logs the initcalls but in fact these initcalls are also logged through printk while using the initcall_debug kernel parameter. Nobody seem to be using it so far. Then just remove it.

- help
- This tracer helps developers to optimize boot times: it records
- the timings of the initcalls and traces key events and the identity
- of tasks that can cause boot delays, such as context-switches.
-
- Its aim is to be parsed by the scripts/bootgraph.pl tool to
- produce pretty graphics about boot inefficiencies, giving a visual
- representation of the delays during initcalls - but the raw
- /debug/tracing/trace text output is readable too.
-
- You must pass in initcall_debug and ftrace=initcall to the kernel
- command line to enable this on bootup.
