tracing: Have trace_printk not use binary prints if boot buffer

If the persistent boot mapped ring buffer is used for trace_printk(),
force it to not use the binary versions. trace_printk() by default uses
bin_printf() that only saves the pointer to the format and not the format
itself inside the ring buffer. But for a persistent buffer that is read
after reboot, the pointers to the format strings may not be the same, or
worse, not even exist! Instead, just force the more robust, but slower,
version that does the formatting before saving into the ring buffer.

The boot mapped buffer can now be used for trace_printk and friends!

Using the trace_printk() and the persistent buffer was used to debug the
issue with the osnoise tracer:
