v3: zhaolei@cn.fujitsu.com: Change TRACE_EVENT definition to new format
    introduced by Steven Rostedt: consolidate trace and trace_event headers
v2: kosaki@jp.fujitsu.com: print the function names instead of addr, and zap
    the work addr
v1: zhaolei@cn.fujitsu.com: Make workqueue tracepoints use TRACE_EVENT macro

TRACE_EVENT is a more generic way to define tracepoints.
Doing so adds these new capabilities to the tracepoints:

  - zero-copy and per-cpu splice() tracing
  - binary tracing without printf overhead
  - structured logging records exposed under /debug/tracing/events
  - trace events embedded in function tracer output and other plugins
  - user-defined, per tracepoint filter expressions

Then, this patch converts DEFINE_TRACE to TRACE_EVENT in workqueue related
tracepoints.

[ Impact: expand workqueue tracer to events tracing ]

Impact: clean up

The macros TPPROTO, TPARGS, TPFMT, TPRAWFMT, and TPCMD all look a bit
ugly. This patch adds an underscore to their names.

Impact: new tracer

The workqueue tracer provides some statistical informations
about each cpu workqueue thread such as the number of the
works inserted and executed since their creation. It can help
to evaluate the amount of work each of them have to perform.
For example it can help a developer to decide whether he should
choose a per cpu workqueue instead of a singlethreaded one.

It only traces statistical informations for now but it will probably later
provide event tracing too.

Such a tracer could help too, and be improved, to help rt priority sorted
workqueue development.

To have a snapshot of the workqueues state at any time, just do

cat /debugfs/tracing/trace_stat/workqueues

Ie:

  1    125        125       reiserfs/1
  1      0          0       scsi_tgtd/1
  1      0          0       aio/1
  1      0          0       ata/1
  1    114        114       kblockd/1
  1      0          0       kintegrityd/1
  1   2147       2147       events/1

  0      0          0       kpsmoused
  0    105        105       reiserfs/0
  0      0          0       scsi_tgtd/0
  0      0          0       aio/0
  0      0          0       ata_aux
  0      0          0       ata/0
  0      0          0       cqueue
  0      0          0       kacpi_notify
  0      0          0       kacpid
  0    149        149       kblockd/0
  0      0          0       kintegrityd/0
  0   1000       1000       khelper
  0   2270       2270       events/0

Changes in V2:

_ Drop the static array based on NR_CPU and dynamically allocate the stat array
  with num_possible_cpus() and other cpu mask facilities....
_ Trace workqueue insertion at a bit lower level (insert_work instead of queue_work) to handle
  even the workqueue barriers.
