Recent debugging on vhost net zerocopy shows the need of
tracepoints. So to help in vhost{net} debugging and performance
analyzing, the following series adding basic tracepoints to
vhost. Operations of both vhost and vhost_net were traced in current
implementation.

A top-like satistics displaying script were introduced to help the
troubleshooting:
vhost statistics
