We cleaned tracepoint variables from ethdev map file, why they exist for
'eal'?

I can see .map file has bunch of "__rte_eal_trace_generic_*", I think
they exists to support 'rte_eal_trace_generic_*()' APIs which can be
called from other libraries.

Do we really need them?
Why not whoever calls them directly call 'rte_trace_point_emit_*' instead?
As these rte_eal_trace_generic_*()' not used at all, I assume this is
what done already.

@Jerin,
what do think to remove 'rte_eal_trace_generic_*()' APIs, so trace
always keeps local to library, and don't bloat the eal .map file?
