These patches fix the UST backend which got broken by LTTng 2.x.

An interesting new feature in LTTng 2.x is that tracepoints now need to belong
to a provider. A provider is a way to group tracepoints in a logical way, for
instance tracepoints that belong to a specific file or subsystem. This would
then allow users to enable all tracepoints of a specific provider at once.

In these patches, only one provider is defined, which is called "ust" (and
tracepoints are defined in generated-ust-provider.h). It would be interesting to
take advantage of this feature in the future, separating tracepoints into
multiple providers. Of course, this would require more modifications as well as
a way to specify to which provider each tracepoint belongs in file trace-events.
