Subject: [PATCH 08/15] tracing: Make kmem memory allocation tracepoints conditional

Making the memory allocation tracepoints conditional allows those
events to be traced using the functions containing them e.g. the
kmalloc_trace() handler can itself use kmalloc() in the trace path,
which otherwise wouldn't be possible.

The TP_CONDITION simply tests gfp_flags for the newly introduced
___GFP_NOTRACE and if true, the tracepoint simply returns without
tracing.

This allows _notrace versions of the memory allocation functions to be
defined, which do the same thing as the normal versions but in
addition set the ___GFP_NOTRACE flag, and thus avoid the (possibly
indirect) recursive calls to themselves.
