This doesn't account for other trace backends. For example with dtrace
or ust the option would be compiled in and not rejected at runtime.
Instead of checking all possible trace backend CONFIG_* we could always
compile the -trace option in. Specific backends can validate their
options (if used). This approach will not reject unused options but
it's simple and doesn't use #ifdefs.
