tracing: create automated trace defines

Browse Source 
This patch lowers the number of places a developer must modify to add
new tracepoints. The current method to add a new tracepoint
into an existing system is to write the trace point macro in the
trace header with one of the macros TRACE_EVENT, TRACE_FORMAT or
DECLARE_TRACE, then they must add the same named item into the C file
with the macro DEFINE_TRACE(name) and then add the trace point.

This change cuts out the needing to add the DEFINE_TRACE(name).
Every file that uses the tracepoint must still include the trace/<type>.h
file, but the one C file must also add a define before the including
of that file.

 #define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
 #include <trace/mytrace.h>

This will cause the trace/mytrace.h file to also produce the C code
necessary to implement the trace point.

Note, if more than one trace/<type>.h is used to create the C code
it is best to list them all together.

 #define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
 #include <trace/foo.h>
 #include <trace/bar.h>
 #include <trace/fido.h>

Thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers and Christoph Hellwig for coming up with
the cleaner solution of the define above the includes over my first
design to have the C code include a "special" header.

This patch converts sched, irq and lockdep and skb to use this new
method.
