This is the 2nd version of my patch.  Compared with 1st version (sent
four hours ago), this version covers more cases.  In this patch, a new
observer `trace_stopped' is added.  In stop_tracing and
target_get_trace_status, observer `trace_stopped' is notified, and then,
`inserted' flag is cleared.  This looks more clear than version 1.

Tested again on x86_64-linux.  No regression.
