tracing: Allocate mask_str buffer dynamically
The default NR_CPUS can be very large, but actual possible nr_cpu_ids usually is very small. For my x86 distribution, the NR_CPUS is 8192 and nr_cpu_ids is 4. About 2 pages are wasted. Most machines don't have so many CPUs, so define a array with NR_CPUS just wastes memory. So let's allocate the buffer dynamically when need. With this change, the mutext tracing_cpumask_update_lock also can be removed now, which was used to protect mask_str.
