tracing: use timestamp to determine start of latency traces
Currently the latency tracers reset the ring buffer. Unfortunately if a commit is in process (due to a trace event), this can corrupt the ring buffer. When this happens, the ring buffer will detect the corruption and then permanently disable the ring buffer. The bug does not crash the system, but it does prevent further tracing after the bug is hit. Instead of reseting the trace buffers, the timestamp of the start of the trace is used instead. The buffers will still contain the previous data, but the output will not count any data that is before the timestamp of the trace. Note, this only affects the static trace output (trace) and not the runtime trace output (trace_pipe). The runtime trace output does not make sense for the latency tracers anyway.
