How about this:

  # grep tracefs /proc/mounts
tracefs /sys/kernel/tracing tracefs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0
tracefs /sys/kernel/debug/tracing tracefs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0

 # umount /sys/kernel/debug/tracing 
 # grep tracefs /proc/mounts
tracefs /sys/kernel/tracing tracefs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0

 # grep tracefs /proc/mounts
tracefs /sys/kernel/tracing tracefs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0
tracefs /sys/kernel/debug/tracing tracefs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0

So it appears that accessing debugfs/tracing will automatically remount it.

Lean something new everyday! ;-)
