Subject: [v8 PATCH] block: introduce block_rq_error tracepoint

Currently, rasdaemon uses the existing tracepoint block_rq_complete
and filters out non-error cases in order to capture block disk errors.

But there are a few problems with this approach:

1. Even kernel trace filter could do the filtering work, there is
   still some overhead after we enable this tracepoint.

2. The filter is merely based on errno, which does not align with kernel
   logic to check the errors for print_req_error().

3. block_rq_complete only provides dev major and minor to identify
   the block device, it is not convenient to use in user-space.

So introduce a new tracepoint block_rq_error just for the error case.
With this patch, rasdaemon could switch to block_rq_error.

Since the new tracepoint has the similar implementation with
block_rq_complete, so move the existing code from TRACE_EVENT
block_rq_complete() into new event class block_rq_completion(). Then add
event for block_rq_complete and block_rq_err respectively from the newly
created event class per the suggestion from Chaitanya Kulkarni.

The v3 patch was submitted in Feb 2020, and Steven reviewed the patch, but
it was not merged to upstream. See
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200203053650.8923-1-xiyou.wangcong@gmail.com/.

The problems fixed by that patch still exist and we do need it to make
disk error handling in rasdaemon easier. So this resurrected it and
continued the version number.

v7 --> v8:
 * Combined two patches into one per Christoph Hellwig.
 * Kept Steven's reviewed-by since there is no significant change for
   tracepoint other than creating event class.
v6 --> v7:
 * Prepared (two patches) by Chaitanya Kulkarni
 * Created event class
v5 --> v6:
 * Removed disk name per Christoph and Chaitanya
 * Kept errno since I didn't find any other block tracepoints print blk
   status code and userspace (i.e. rasdaemon) does expect errno.
v4 --> v5:
 * Report the actual block layer status code instead of the errno per
   Christoph Hellwig.
v3 --> v4:
 * Rebased to v5.17-rc1.
 * Collected reviewed-by tag from Steven.
