tracing: explain why stack tracer is empty

Browse Source 
If the stack tracing is disabled (by default) the stack_trace file
will only contain the header:

 # cat /debug/tracing/stack_trace
        Depth    Size      Location    (0 entries)
        -----    ----      --------

This can be frustrating to a developer that does not realize that the
stack tracer is disabled. This patch adds the following text:

  # cat /debug/tracing/stack_trace
        Depth    Size      Location    (0 entries)
        -----    ----      --------
 #
 #  Stack tracer disabled
 #
 # To enable the stack tracer, either add 'stacktrace' to the
 # kernel command line
 # or 'echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/stack_tracer_enabled'
 #
