[patch 06/16] Markers auto enable tracepoints (new API : trace_mark_tp())

[Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@polymtl.ca>]

[-- Attachment #1: markers-auto-enable-tracepoints.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 6909 bytes --]

Add a new API trace_mark_tp(), which declares a marker within a tracepoint
probe. When the marker is activated, the tracepoint is automatically enabled.

No branch test is used at the marker site, because it would be a duplicate of
the branch already present in the tracepoint.

Impact: new API.
