tracing: Add an option for disabling markers
In our application, we have trace markers spread through user-space. We have markers in GL, X, etc. These are super handy for Chrome's about:tracing feature (Chrome + system + kernel trace view), but can be very distracting when you're trying to debug a kernel issue. I normally, use "grep -v tracing_mark_write" but it would be nice if I could just temporarily disable markers all together.
