softirq: Add trace points for tasklet entry/exit

Tasklets are supposed to finish their work quickly and should not block the
current running process, but it is not guaranteed that they do so.

Currently softirq_entry/exit can be used to analyse the total tasklets
execution time, but that's not helpful to track individual tasklets
execution time. That makes it hard to identify tasklet functions, which
take more time than expected.

Add tasklet_entry/exit trace point support to track individual tasklet
execution.

Trivial usage example:
   # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/irq/tasklet_entry/enable
   # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/irq/tasklet_exit/enable
   # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
 # tracer: nop
 #
