The canonical location for the tracefs filesystem is at /sys/kernel/tracing.

But, from Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst:

  Before 4.1, all ftrace tracing control files were within the debugfs
  file system, which is typically located at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing.
  For backward compatibility, when mounting the debugfs file system,
  the tracefs file system will be automatically mounted at:

  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing

Many comments and samples in the bpf code still refer to this older
debugfs path, so let's update them to avoid confusion.  There are a few
spots where the bpf code explicitly checks both tracefs and debugfs
(tools/bpf/bpftool/tracelog.c and tools/lib/api/fs/fs.c) and I've left
those alone so that the tools can continue to work with both paths.
