Subject: [RFC 1/4] ftrace: Add events for tracing timer interrupts

Trace the execution of the timer interrupt. I did not find an argument that
makes any sense so traces look like this:

<idle>-0     [000] 181019.693546: timerirq_enter: unused=1
<idle>-0     [000] 181019.693553: timerirq_exit: unused=1
