[PATCH] Fix buffer overflow and races in capi debug functions

The CAPI trace debug functions were using a fixed size buffer, which can be
overflowed if wrong formatted CAPI messages were sent to the kernel capi
layer.  The code was also not protected against multiple callers.  This fix
bug 8028.

Additionally the patch make the CAPI trace functions optional.
