tracing: Deprecate tracing_enabled for tracing_on
tracing_enabled should not be used, it is heavy weight and does not do much in helping lower the overhead. tracing_on should be used instead. Warn users to use tracing_on when tracing_enabled is used as it will soon be removed from the tracing directory. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
