To prepare for support asynchronous tracer_init_tracefs initcall,
avoid calling create_trace_option_files before __update_tracer_options.
Otherwise, create_trace_option_files will show warning because
some tracers in trace_types list are already in tr->topts.

For example, hwlat_tracer call register_tracer in late_initcall,
and global_trace.dir is already created in tracing_init_dentry,
hwlat_tracer will be put into tr->topts.
Then if the __update_tracer_options is executed after hwlat_tracer
registered, create_trace_option_files find that hwlat_tracer is
already in tr->topts.

Before this patch:

bin		   funcgraph-irqs      irq-info		sym-addr
blk_cgname	   funcgraph-overhead  latency-format	sym-offset

funcgraph-abstime  graph-time	       record-tgid
funcgraph-cpu	   hash-ptr	       sleep-time


After this patch:

 # ls /sys/kernel/tracing/options
annotate      disable_on_free  irq-info         raw          trace_printk
bin           display-graph    latency-format   record-cmd   userstacktrace
blk_cgname    event-fork       markers          record-tgid  verbose
blk_cgroup    function-fork    overwrite        stacktrace
blk_classic   function-trace   pause-on-trace   sym-addr
block         hash-ptr         printk-msg-only  sym-offset
context-info  hex              print-parent     sym-userobj

Not good.

I think you want to set this before the __update, as doing it after just
makes the update a nop.

Calling __update_tracer_options() when tracer_options_updated=false have no
effect because it return directly in add_tracer_options().
I will fix it in v4 as you suggest in the below comment.

You are right.
I will update in v4, thanks!
