tracing: Move ftrace_max_lock into trace_array
In preparation for having tracers enabled in instances, the max_lock should be unique as updating the max for one tracer is a separate operation than updating it for another tracer using a different max. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
