We will have a lot tracepoints latter, each one translates to the
constructor may not be a good
improvement. The scope is limited only to register function so IMO it
is okay to have split
just like rte_log. I don't see any reason why it has to be a different
than rte_log.

One of the thought process is, we probably remove the constructor
scheme to all other with DPDK
and replace it with a more register scheme. In such a case, we can
skip calling the constructor all tother
when trace is disabled.
