[PATCH]trace: fix wrong help information about snapshot

From: Wang YanQing
Date: Thu Sep 12 2013 - 11:04:30 EST



Cat snapshot give me:
" tracer: nop

* Snapshot is freed *

Snapshot commands:
echo 0 > snapshot : Clears and frees snapshot buffer
echo 1 > snapshot : Allocates snapshot buffer, if not already allocated.
Takes a snapshot of the main buffer.
echo 2 > snapshot : Clears snapshot buffer (but does not allocate)
(Doesn't have to be '2' works with any number that
is not a '0' or '1')"

But after read the code, I found the right information about "echo 2 > snapshot"
should looks like below:

" echo 2 > snapshot : Clears snapshot buffer (but does not free)
(Doesn't have to be '2' works with any number that
is not a '0' or '1')"
