Also looking at the stress test all it does is writing to various files
(in several background loops) that store tracing parameters. Is that
even reasonable test? I guess that it can find out race conditions
between functions that handle the write for the options...
And it uses the tracing_on file as well. So we can just skip starting
the loop writes to the ftrace_enabled file if it's not present.
