[PATCHv11 2.6.36-rc2-tip 8/15] 8: tracing: Extract out common code for kprobes/uprobes traceevents.

[Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

Move parts of trace_kprobe.c that can be shared with upcoming
trace_uprobe.c. Common code to kernel/trace/trace_probe.h and
kernel/trace/trace_probe.c.

TODO: Merge both events to a single probe event.

Signed-off-by: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
---

Changelog from V10: delete references to is_kprobe and make
         is_return a bool.

Changelog from V7: Merge changes due to string support in kprobes
	traceevent.

Changelog from V5: Addressed comments from Masami Hiramatsu
	and Steven Rostedt. Also shared lot more code from kprobes
        traceevents.
