trace: set max latency variable to zero on default
Impact: trace max latencies on start of latency tracing
This patch sets the max latency to zero whenever one of the
irq variant tracers or the wakeup tracer is set to current tracer.
Most developers expect to see output when starting up a latency
tracer. But since the max_latency is already set to max, and
it takes a latency greater than max_latency to be recorded, there
is no trace. This is not the expected behavior and has even confused
myself.
