[PATCH tip/core/rcu 14/55] rcu: Add event-tracing for RCU callback invocation

["Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

From: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org>

There was recently some controversy about the overhead of invoking RCU
callbacks.  Add TRACE_EVENT()s to obtain fine-grained timings for the
start and stop of a batch of callbacks and also for each callback invoked.
