tracing: stop comm recording on tracing off
Impact: fix for losing comms in trace
The command lines of tasks are cached at sched switch to not need
to record them at every trace point. Disabling the tracing on stops
the recording of traces, but does not stop the caching of command lines.
When the tracing is off the cache may overflow and cause the tracing
to show incorrect tasks matching the PIDs.
This patch disables prevents updates to the comm cache when the ring buffer
is off.
