Frederic Weisbecker ac99c58c9e tracing/syscalls: fix missing release of tracing ...

Impact: fix 'stuck' syscall tracer

The syscall tracer uses a refcounter to enable several users
simultaneously.

But the refcounter did not behave correctly and always restored
its value to 0 after calling start_syscall_tracing(). Therefore,
stop_syscall_tracing() couldn't release correctly the tasks from
tracing.

Also the tracer forgot to reset the buffer when it is released.

Drop the pointless refcount decrement on start_syscall_tracing()
and reset the buffer when we release the tracer.

This fixes two reported issue:

- when we switch from syscall tracer to another tracer, syscall
  tracing continued.

- incorrect use of the refcount.
