Leonardo Bras 949fa3f11c trace,smp: Add tracepoints around remotelly called functions
The recently added ipi_send_{cpu,cpumask} tracepoints allow finding sources
of IPIs targeting CPUs running latency-sensitive applications.

For NOHZ_FULL CPUs, all IPIs are interference, and those tracepoints are
sufficient to find them and work on getting rid of them. In some setups
however, not *all* IPIs are to be suppressed, but long-running IPI
callbacks can still be problematic.

Add a pair of tracepoints to mark the start and end of processing a CSD IPI
callback, similar to what exists for softirq, workqueue or timer callbacks.
