tracing: Fix warning in trace_buffered_event_disable()
Warning happened in trace_buffered_event_disable() at
WARN_ON_ONCE(!trace_buffered_event_ref)

The cause of the warning is in __ftrace_event_enable_disable(),
trace_buffered_event_enable() was called once while
trace_buffered_event_disable() was called twice.
Reproduction script show as below, for analysis, see the comments:
```
#!/bin/bash
cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
# 1. Register a 'disable_event' command, then:
# 1) SOFT_DISABLED_BIT was set;
# 2) trace_buffered_event_enable() was called first time;
echo 'cmdline_proc_show:disable_event:initcall:initcall_finish' > \
set_ftrace_filter
# 2. Enable the event registered, then:
# 1) SOFT_DISABLED_BIT was cleared;
# 2) trace_buffered_event_disable() was called first time;
echo 1 > events/initcall/initcall_finish/enable
# 3. Try to call into cmdline_proc_show(), then SOFT_DISABLED_BIT was
# set again!!!
cat /proc/cmdline
# 4. Unregister the 'disable_event' command, then:
# 1) SOFT_DISABLED_BIT was cleared again;
# 2) trace_buffered_event_disable() was called second time!!!
echo '!cmdline_proc_show:disable_event:initcall:initcall_finish' > \
set_ftrace_filter
```
To fix it, IIUC, we can change to call trace_buffered_event_enable() at
fist time soft-mode enabled, and call trace_buffered_event_disable() at
last time soft-mode disabled.
