tracing: Do not synchronize freeing of trigger filter on boot up
If a trigger filter on the kernel command line fails to apply (due to syntax error), it will be freed. The freeing will call tracepoint_synchronize_unregister(), but this is not needed during early boot up, and will even trigger a lockdep splat. Avoid calling the synchronization function when system_state is SYSTEM_BOOTING.
