tracing: Fix ifdef of snapshots to not prevent last_boot_info file
The mapping of the ring buffer to memory allocated at boot up will also
expose a "last_boot_info" to help tooling to read the raw data from the
last boot. As instances that have their ring buffer mapped to fixed
memory cannot perform snapshots, they can either have the "snapshot" file
or the "last_boot_info" file, but not both.
The code that added the "last_boot_info" file failed to notice that the
"snapshot" creation was inside a "#ifdef CONFIG_TRACER_SNAPSHOT" and
incorrectly placed the creation of the "last_boot_info" file within the
ifdef block. Not only does it cause a warning when CONFIG_TRACER_SNAPSHOT
is not enabled, it also incorrectly prevents the file from appearing.
