[PATCH RT v2] tracing: make preempt_lazy and migrate_disable counter smaller

The migrate_disable counter should not exceed 255 so it is enough to
store it in an 8bit field.
With this change we can move the `preempt_lazy_count' member into the
gap so the whole struct shrinks by 4 bytes to 12 bytes in total.
Remove the `padding' field, it is not needed.
Update the tracing fields in trace_define_common_fields() (it was
missing the preempt_lazy_count field).

v1…v2:
- drop the `padding' member
- update the members in trace_define_common_fields() to match struct
trace_entry.
