tracing: Do not set trace clock if tracefs lockdown is in effect
When trace_clock option is not set and unstable clcok detected, tracing_set_default_clock() sets trace_clock(ThinkPad A285 is one of case). In that case, if lockdown is in effect, null pointer dereference error happens in ring_buffer_set_clock().
