The per CPU "disabled" value was the original way to disable tracing when
the tracing subsystem was first created. Today, the ring buffer
infrastructure has its own way to disable tracing. In fact, things have
changed so much since 2008 that many things ignore the disable flag.

The ftrace_dump_one() function iterates over all the current tracing CPUs and
increments the "disabled" counter before doing the dump, and decrements it
afterward.

As the disabled flag can be ignored, doing this today is not reliable.
Instead use the new tracer_tracing_disable() that calls into the ring
buffer code to do the disabling.
