brcm80211: Allow trace support to be enabled separately from debug

Since the runtime overhead of trace support is small when tracing is
disabled, users may be interested in turning on trace support while
leaving other debug features off. Add a new config option named
CONFIG_BRCM_TRACING for this purpose.

If you say Y here, the Broadcom wireless drivers will register
with ftrace to dump event information into the trace ringbuffer.
Tracing can be enabled at runtime to aid in debugging wireless
issues. This option adds a small amount of overhead when tracing
is disabled. If unsure, say Y to allow developers to better help
you when wireless problems occur.
