[PATCH 1/3][RFC] tracing/rcu: Add trace_##name##__rcuidle() static tracepoint forinside rcu_idle_exit() sections

From: Steven Rostedt

From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@xxxxxxxxxx>

Added is a new static inline function that lets *any* tracepoint be used
inside a rcu_idle_exit() section. And this also solves the problem where
the same tracepoint may be used inside a rcu_idle_exit() section as well
as outside of one.

I added a new tracepoint function with a "_rcuidle" extension. All
tracepoints can be used with either the normal "trace_foobar()"
function, or the "trace_foobar_rcuidle()" function when inside a
rcu_idle_exit() section.

All tracepoints defined by TRACE_EVENT() or any of the derivatives
will have a "_rcuidle()" function also defined. When a tracepoint is
used within an rcu_idle_exit() section, the "_rcuidle()" version must
be used. This denotes that the tracepoint is within rcu_idle_exit()
and it allows the rcu read locks within the tracepoint to still
be valid, as this version takes us out of rcu_idle_exit().

Another nice aspect about this patch is that "static inline"s are not
compiled into text when not used. So only the tracepoints that actually
use the _rcuidle() version will have them defined in the actual text
that is booted.
