tracing: Avoid soft lockup in trace_pipe

running following commands:

  # enable the binary option
  echo 1 > ./options/bin
  # disable context info option
  echo 0 > ./options/context-info
  # tracing only events
  echo 1 > ./events/enable
  cat trace_pipe

plus forcing system to generate many tracing events,
is causing lockup (in NON preemptive kernels) inside
tracing_read_pipe function.

The issue is also easily reproduced by running ltp stress test.
(ftrace_stress_test.sh)

The reasons are:
 - bin/hex/raw output functions for events are set to
   trace_nop_print function, which prints nothing and
   returns TRACE_TYPE_HANDLED value
 - LOST EVENT trace do not handle trace_seq overflow

These reasons force the while loop in tracing_read_pipe
function never to break.

The attached patch fixies handling of lost event trace, and
changes trace_nop_print to print minimal info, which is needed
for the correct tracing_read_pipe processing.

v2 changes:
 - omit the cond_resched changes by trace_nop_print changes
 - WARN changed to WARN_ONCE and added info to be able
   to find out the culprit

v3 changes:
 - make more accurate patch comment
