Since the ftrace current setting may conflict with the new setting
from bootconfig, add the --init option to initialize ftrace before
setting for bconf2ftrace.sh.
E.g.
$ bconf2ftrace.sh --init boottrace.bconf
This initialization method copied from selftests/ftrace.

Add a ftrace2bconf.sh under tools/bootconfig/scripts which generates
a bootconfig file from the current ftrace settings.
To read the ftrace settings, ftrace2bconf.sh requires the root
privilege (or sudo). The ftrace2bconf.sh will output the bootconfig
to stdout and error messages to stderr, so usually you'll run it as
# ftrace2bconf.sh > ftrace.bconf
Note that some ftrace configurations are not supported. For example,
function-call/callgraph trace/notrace settings are not supported because
the wildcard has been expanded and lost in the ftrace anymore.

Add a bconf2ftrace.sh under tools/bootconfig/scripts which generates
a shell script to setup boot-time trace from bootconfig file for testing
the bootconfig.
bconf2ftrace.sh will take a bootconfig file (includes boot-time tracing)
and convert it into a shell-script which is almost same as the boot-time
tracer does.
If --apply option is given, it also tries to apply those command to the
running kernel, which requires the root privilege (or sudo).
For example, if you just want to confirm the shell commands, save
the output as below.
# bconf2ftrace.sh ftrace.bconf > ftrace.sh
Or, you can apply it directly.
# bconf2ftrace.sh --apply ftrace.bconf
Note that some boot-time tracing parameters under kernel.* are not able
to set via tracefs nor procfs (e.g. tp_printk, traceoff_on_warning.),
so those are ignored.
