Some error/msg show "Could not access /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_enabled"
Checked current tracing behavior, we use tracing_on to control enabled/disable.
EasyFix.

Comment 1 Qiao Zhao 2019-07-19 07:53:38 UTC 
I draft a patch and test passed. Please review.

For current RHEL7 and RHEL8, we use tracing_on to control tracing disable/enable.
The tracing_enabled is not the correct value.
