tracepoints: Free early tracepoints after RCU is initialized

When enabling trace events via the kernel command line, I hit this warning:

The problem is that the enabling of trace events before RCU is set up will
cause SRCU to give this warning. To avoid this, add a list to store probes
that need to be freed till after RCU is initialized, and then free them
then.
