tracing: Use strim() to remove whitespace instead of doing it manually
The tracing_set_trace_write() function just removes the trailing whitespace from the user supplied tracer name, but the leading whitespace should also be removed. In addition, if the user supplied tracer name contains only a few whitespace characters, the first one will not be removed using the current method, which results it a single whitespace character left in the buf. To fix all of these issues, we use strim() to correctly remove both the leading and trailing whitespace.
