Subject: tracing/events: Add tasklet tracepoints


Add tracepoints for tasklets. We add entry and exit tracepoints so we can
calculate tasklet latency.

Example ftrace output:

<idle>-0     [000]   327.349213: tasklet_entry: func=.rpavscsi_task
<idle>-0     [000]   327.349217: tasklet_exit: func=.rpavscsi_task
