rcu: Add tracing to rcu_gp_kthread()

Browse Source 
This commit adds tracing to the rcu_gp_kthread() function in order to
help trace down hangs potentially involving this kthread.

/*
* Tracepoint for grace-period events: starting and ending a grace
* period ("start" and "end", respectively), a CPU noting the start
* of a new grace period or the end of an old grace period ("cpustart"
* and "cpuend", respectively), a CPU passing through a quiescent
* state ("cpuqs"), a CPU coming online or going offline ("cpuonl"
* and "cpuofl", respectively), a CPU being kicked for being too
* long in dyntick-idle mode ("kick"), a CPU accelerating its new
* callbacks to RCU_NEXT_READY_TAIL ("AccReadyCB"), and a CPU
* accelerating its new callbacks to RCU_WAIT_TAIL ("AccWaitCB").
* Tracepoint for grace-period events. Takes a string identifying the
* RCU flavor, the grace-period number, and a string identifying the
* grace-period-related event as follows:
*
* "AccReadyCB": CPU acclerates new callbacks to RCU_NEXT_READY_TAIL.
* "AccWaitCB": CPU accelerates new callbacks to RCU_WAIT_TAIL.
* "start": Start a grace period.
* "cpustart": CPU first notices a grace-period start.
* "cpuqs": CPU passes through a quiescent state.
* "cpuonl": CPU comes online.
* "cpuofl": CPU goes offline.
* "reqwait": GP kthread sleeps waiting for grace-period request.
* "reqwaitsig": GP kthread awakened by signal from reqwait state.
* "fqswait": GP kthread waiting until time to force quiescent states.
* "fqsstart": GP kthread starts forcing quiescent states.
* "fqsend": GP kthread done forcing quiescent states.
* "fqswaitsig": GP kthread awakened by signal from fqswait state.
* "end": End a grace period.
* "cpuend": CPU first notices a grace-period end.
