ftrace: add nop tracer

A no-op tracer which can serve two purposes:

 1. A template for development of a new tracer.
 2. A convenient way to see ftrace_printk() calls without
    an irrelevant trace making the output messy.

This tracer does nothing. The primary purpose for it is to
politely print the output of ftrace_printk() calls without
the overhead of an irrelevant trace taking place.
