tracing/ftrace: change the type of the print_line callback

We need a kind of disambiguation when a print_line callback
returns 0.

_There is not enough space to print all the entry.
 Please flush the seq and retry.
_I can't handle this type of entry

This patch changes the type of this callback for better information.

Also some changes have been made in this V2.

_ Only relay to default functions after the print_line callback fails.
_ This patch doesn't fix the issue with the broken pipe (see patch 2/4 for that)

Some things are still in discussion:

_ Find better names for the enum print_line_t values
_ Change the type of print_trace_line into boolean.

Patches to change that can be sent later.
