tracing/ftrace: change the type of the init() callback

Impact: extend the ->init() method with the ability to fail

This bring a way to know if the initialization of a tracer successed.
A tracer must return 0 on success and a traditional error (ie:
-ENOMEM) if it fails.

If a tracer fails to init, it is free to print a detailed warn. The
tracing api will not and switch to a new tracer will just return the
error from the init callback.

Note: this will be used for the return tracer.
