tracing: add event trace infrastructure

This patch creates the event tracing infrastructure of ftrace.
It will create the files:

 /debug/tracing/available_events
 /debug/tracing/set_event

The available_events will list the trace points that have been
registered with the event tracer.

set_events will allow the user to enable or disable an event hook.

example:

 # echo sched_wakeup > /debug/tracing/set_event

Will enable the sched_wakeup event (if it is registered).

 # echo "!sched_wakeup" >> /debug/tracing/set_event

Will disable the sched_wakeup event (and only that event).

 # echo > /debug/tracing/set_event

Will disable all events (notice the '>')

 # cat /debug/tracing/available_events > /debug/tracing/set_event

Will enable all registered event hooks.
