commit f4bf3ca2e5 upstream.
Tasklets are supposed to finish their work quickly and should not block the
current running process, but it is not guaranteed that they do so.
Currently softirq_entry/exit can be used to analyse the total tasklets
execution time, but that's not helpful to track individual tasklets
execution time. That makes it hard to identify tasklet functions, which
take more time than expected.
Add tasklet_entry/exit trace point support to track individual tasklet
execution.
Trivial usage example:
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/irq/tasklet_entry/enable
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/irq/tasklet_exit/enable
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
# tracer: nop
#

[elavila: Port to android-mainline]
[jstultz: Rebased to upstream, cut unused trace points, added
comments for the tracepoints, reworded commit]
The intention is to keep the stable branch in sync with upstream fixes
and improve observability without introducing new functionality.
