From: KOSAKI Motohiro on
Usually trace-cmd die If 'trace-cmd start' find wrong -e argument.
It mean an admin can't pass the trace point of unloaded kernel module.
It can cause nightmare if he manage lots and various computers.

That said, admin want to use the same trace configuration. but, example,
some machine loaded ext4 module, others unloaded. It makes harder to
reuse.

So, I simply implement ignore option.
