tools: bpftool: attempt to mount tracefs if required for tracelog cmd
As a follow-up to commit 30da46b5dc3a ("tools: bpftool: add a command to dump the trace pipe"), attempt to mount the tracefs virtual file system if it is not detected on the system before trying to dump content of the tracing pipe on an invocation of "bpftool prog tracelog". Usually, tracefs in automatically mounted by debugfs when the user tries to access it (e.g. "ls /sys/kernel/debug/tracing" mounts the tracefs). So if we failed to find it, it is probably that debugfs is not here either. Therefore, we just attempt a single mount, at a location that does not involve debugfs: /sys/kernel/tracing.
