Subject: [PATCH V3 07/11] notifiers: Add tracepoints to the notifiers infrastructure

Currently there is no way to show the callback names for registered,
unregistered or executed notifiers. This is very useful for debug
purposes, hence add this functionality here in the form of notifiers'
tracepoints, one per operation.

V3:
- Yet another major change - thanks to Arjan's great suggestion,
refactored the code to make use of tracepoints instead of guarding
the output with a Kconfig debug setting.

V2:
- Major improvement thanks to the great idea from Xiaoming - changed
all the ksym wheel reinvention to printk %ps modifier;

- Instead of ifdefs, using IS_ENABLED() - thanks Steven.

- Removed an unlikely() hint on debug path.
