ftrace/fastboot: disable tracers self-tests when boot tracer is selected
The tracing engine resets the ring buffer and the tracers touch it
too during self-tests. These self-tests happen during tracers registering
and work against boot tracing which is logging initcalls.
We have to disable tracing self-tests if the boot-tracer is selected.
