tracing: Fix cpu buffers unavailable due to 'record_disabled' missed

[ Upstream commit b71645d6 ]

Trace ring buffer can no longer record anything after executing
following commands at the shell prompt:

  # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
  # cat tracing_cpumask
  fff
  # echo 0 > tracing_cpumask
  # echo 1 > snapshot
  # echo fff > tracing_cpumask
  # echo 1 > tracing_on
  # echo "hello world" > trace_marker
  -bash: echo: write error: Bad file descriptor

The root cause is that:
  1. After `echo 0 > tracing_cpumask`, 'record_disabled' of cpu buffers
     in 'tr->array_buffer.buffer' became 1 (see tracing_set_cpumask());
  2. After `echo 1 > snapshot`, 'tr->array_buffer.buffer' is swapped
     with 'tr->max_buffer.buffer', then the 'record_disabled' became 0
     (see update_max_tr());
  3. After `echo fff > tracing_cpumask`, the 'record_disabled' become -1;
Then array_buffer and max_buffer are both unavailable due to value of
'record_disabled' is not 0.

To fix it, enable or disable both array_buffer and max_buffer at the same
time in tracing_set_cpumask().
