tracing: Remove boot tracer

The boot tracer is useless. It simply logs the initcalls
but in fact these initcalls are also logged through printk
while using the initcall_debug kernel parameter.

Nobody seem to be using it so far. Then just remove it.

-        help
-          This tracer helps developers to optimize boot times: it records
-          the timings of the initcalls and traces key events and the identity
-          of tasks that can cause boot delays, such as context-switches.
-
-          Its aim is to be parsed by the scripts/bootgraph.pl tool to
-          produce pretty graphics about boot inefficiencies, giving a visual
-          representation of the delays during initcalls - but the raw
-          /debug/tracing/trace text output is readable too.
-
-          You must pass in initcall_debug and ftrace=initcall to the kernel
-          command line to enable this on bootup.
