Move trace_eval_init() to subsys_initcall to make it start
earlier.
And to avoid tracer_init_tracefs being blocked by
trace_event_sem which trace_eval_init() hold [1],
queue tracer_init_tracefs() to eval_map_wq to let
the two works being executed sequentially.

It can speed up the initialization of kernel as result
of making tracer_init_tracefs asynchronous.

On my arm64 platform, it reduce ~20ms of 125ms which total
time do_initcalls spend.

Why go through the bother of doing the INIT_WORK if eval_map_wq is not
created? Just do:

	if (eval_map_wq) {
		INIT_WORK(&tracerfs_init_work, tracer_init_tracefs_work_func);
		queue_work(eval_map_wq, &tracerfs_init_work);
	} else {
		tracer_init_tracefs_work_func(NULL);
	}

But that's just a nit anyway.

Got it, I will update it in v4.
Thanks!
