tracing: stop command line recording when tracing is disabled

Impact: prevent overwrite of command line entries

When the tracer is stopped the command line recording continues to
record. The check for tracing_is_on() is not sufficient here as the
ringbuffer status is not affected by setting
debug/tracing/tracing_enabled to 0. On a non idle system this can
result in the loss of the command line information for the stopped
trace, which makes the trace harder to read and analyse.

Check tracer_enabled to allow further recording.
