[RFC PATCH V2 5/9] tracing/trace: Add a generic function to read/write u64 values from tracefs

[Daniel Bristot de Oliveira]

Provides a generic read and write implementation to save/read u64 values
from a file on tracefs. The trace_ull_config structure defines where to
read/write the value, the min and the max acceptable values, and a lock
to protect the write.
