Subject: [PATCH] Tracepoint: introduce tracepoint() API

Introduce:

  tracepoint(event_name, arg1, arg2, ...)

while keeping the old tracepoint API in place, e.g.:

  trace_event_name(arg1, arg2, ...)

This allows skipping parameter side-effects (pointer dereference,
function calls, ...) when the tracepoint is not dynamically activated.

This allows progressive (and partial) API transition from trace_*(...)
to tracepoint(*, ...). This differs from the previous attempt to
introduce this change by Jason Baron in that it supports both the
original and new tracepoint APIs, which makes the transition smoother
than having to change all instrumentation at once.
