Subject: [PATCH v5] kernel/trace: Add DISALLOW_TRACE_PRINTK make option

trace_printk is meant as a debugging tool, and should not be
compiled into production code without specific debug Kconfig
options enabled, or source code changes, as indicated by the
warning that shows up on boot if any trace_printk is called:
 **   NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE   **
 **                                                      **
 ** trace_printk() being used. Allocating extra memory.  **
 **                                                      **
 ** This means that this is a DEBUG kernel and it is     **
 ** unsafe for production use.                           **

If DISALLOW_TRACE_PRINTK=1 is passed on the make command
line, the kernel will generate a build-time error if
trace_printk is used. We expect distributors to set this
option for their production kernels.

Note that the code to handle trace_printk is still present,
so this does not prevent people from compiling out-of-tree
kernel modules, or BPF programs.

Also, we are not making this a kernel config option as we
want the developer convenience of being able to reuse a
production kernel config, add trace_printk for debugging,
and rebuild, without any config changes.

---

Changes since v4:
 - Turns this into a make option, instead of a config
   option, as suggested by Steven Rostedt <rostedt@...dmis.org>.

Changes since v2/v3:
 - Rebase only, v3 didn't exist as I just split out the other
   necessary patches.
 - Added patch 3/3 to fix atomisp_compat_css20.c

Changes since v1:
 - Use static_assert instead of __static_assert (Jason Gunthorpe)
 - Fix issues that can be detected by this patch (running some
   randconfig in a loop, kernel test robot, or manual inspection),
   by:
   - Making some debug config options that use trace_printk depend
     on the new config option.
   - Adding 3 patches before this one.
