tracing: Add option to use memmapped memory for trace boot instance

Add an option to the trace_instance kernel command line parameter that
allows it to use the reserved memory from memmap boot parameter.

  memmap=12M$0x284500000 trace_instance=boot_mapped@0x284500000:12M

The above will reserves 12 megs at the physical address 0x284500000.
The second parameter will create a "boot_mapped" instance and use the
memory reserved as the memory for the ring buffer.

That will create an instance called "boot_mapped":

  /sys/kernel/tracing/instances/boot_mapped

Note, because the ring buffer is using a defined memory ranged, it will
act just like a memory mapped ring buffer. It will not have a snapshot
buffer, as it can't swap out the buffer. The snapshot files as well as any
tracers that uses a snapshot will not be present in the boot_mapped
instance.
