tracing: do not update tracing_max_latency when tracer is stopped

The state of the function pair tracing_stop()/tracing_start() is
correctly considered when tracer data are updated. However, the global
and externally accessible variable tracing_max_latency is always updated
- even when tracing is stopped.

The update should only occur, if tracing was not stopped.
