[PATCH v5 9/9] tracing: Show inode and device major:minor in deferred user space stacktrace

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The deferred user space stacktrace event already does a lookup of the vma
for each address in the trace to get the file offset for those addresses,
it can also report the file itself.

Add two more arrays to the user space stacktrace event. One for the inode
number, and the other to store the device major:minor number. Now the
output looks like this:

trace-cmd-1108 [007] ..... 240.253487: <user stack unwind>
cookie=7000000000009
=> <00000000001001ca> : 1340007 : 254:3
=> <000000000000ae27> : 1308548 : 254:3
=> <00000000000107e7> : 1440347 : 254:3
=> <00000000000109d3> : 1440347 : 254:3
=> <0000000000011523> : 1440347 : 254:3
=> <000000000001f79d> : 1440347 : 254:3
=> <000000000001fb01> : 1440347 : 254:3
=> <000000000001fbc0> : 1440347 : 254:3
=> <000000000000eb7e> : 1440347 : 254:3
=> <0000000000029ca8> : 1340007 : 254:3

Use space tooling can use this information to get the actual functions
from the files.
