Subject: [PATCH v4 1/4] ftrace: Implement fs notification for tracing_max_latency

This patch implements the feature that the tracing_max_latency file,
e.g. /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_max_latency will receive
notifications through the fsnotify framework when a new latency is
available.

One particularly interesting use of this facility is when enabling
threshold tracing, through /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_thresh,
together with the preempt/irqsoff tracers. This makes it possible to
implement a user space program that can, with equal probability,
obtain traces of latencies that occur immediately after each other in
spite of the fact that the preempt/irqsoff tracers operate in overwrite
mode.

This facility works with the hwlat, preempt/irqsoff, and wakeup
tracers.

This patch also add four new tracepoints, for entering/exiting
__schedule() and do_idle(). Those tracepoints are needed to disable
and enable the notificaton facility because we cannot wake up the
workqueue from these critical sections without risking a deadlock.
Similar problems would also arise if we try to schedule a tasklet,
raise a softirq, or wake up a kernel thread.

If a notification event would happen in the forbidden sections, we
schedule the fsnotify work as soon as we have exited
do_idle()/__schedule().
