tracing: Freeable reserved ring buffer
Make the ring buffer on reserved memory to be freeable. This allows us
to free the trace instance on the reserved memory without changing
cmdline and rebooting. Even if we can not change the kernel cmdline
for security reason, we can release the reserved memory for the ring
buffer as free (available) memory.
For example, boot kernel with reserved memory;
"reserve_mem=20M:2M:trace trace_instance=boot_mapped^traceoff@trace"
~ # free
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 1995548 50544 1927568 14964 17436 1911480
Swap: 0 0 0
~ # rmdir /sys/kernel/tracing/instances/boot_mapped/
[ 23.704023] Freeing reserve_mem:trace memory: 20476K
~ # free

Mem: 2016024 41844 1956740 14968 17440 1940572
