tracing: Prevent buffer overwrite disabled for latency tracers

commit 613f04a0f51e6e68ac6fe571ab79da3c0a5eb4da upstream.

The latency tracers require the buffers to be in overwrite mode,
otherwise they get screwed up. Force the buffers to stay in overwrite
mode when latency tracers are enabled.

Added a flag_changed() method to the tracer structure to allow
the tracers to see what flags are being changed, and also be able
to prevent the change from happing.

[Backported for 3.4-stable. Re-added current_trace NULL checks; removed
allocated_snapshot field; adapted to tracing_trace_options_write without
trace_set_options.]
