vtracef accepts a va_list argument to simplify
tracing functions which use a va_list

Here's an example from wpa_supplicant that I wanted to
trace:

void wpa_debug(int level, const char* fmt, ...)
{
	va_list ap;
	va_start(ap, fmt);

	...
	// The call I want to easily trace with vtracef
	vprintf(fmt, ap);

	...
	va_end(ap);
}

wpa_debug is used a fair amount and it would be annoying to
replace all the wpa_debug calls with tracef.

With vtracef, it simplifies the find and replace effort by
only changing it at one place.

Changes in v4:
	* Use a static inline function to force compiler to inline 
	the vtracef function call.
	* Fix styling issue

 SYNOPSIS
 --------
 [verse]
 *#include <lttng/tracef.h>*

 #define *tracef*('fmt', ...)
+#define *vtracef*('fmt', 'va_list' ap)
 
 Link with `-llttng-ust`.
 
 
 DESCRIPTION
 -----------
 The LTTng-UST `tracef()` API allows you to trace your application with
 the help of a simple man:printf(3)-like macro. The 'fmt' argument is
 passed directly to the 'fmt' parameter of man:vasprintf(3), as well as
 the optional parameters following 'fmt'.
 
-To use `tracef()`, include `<lttng/tracef.h>` where you need it, and
-link your application with `liblttng-ust`. See the <<example,EXAMPLE>>
+To use `tracef()` or `vtracef()`, include `<lttng/tracef.h>` where you need it,
+and link your application with `liblttng-ust`. See the <<example,EXAMPLE>>
 section below for a complete usage example.
 
-Once your application is instrumented with `tracef()` calls and
+Once your application is instrumented with `tracef()` or `vtracef()` calls and
 ready to run, use man:lttng-enable-event(1) to enable the
 `lttng_ust_tracef:*` event.
 
 The `tracef()` events contain a single field, named `msg`, which is the
 formatted string output.
 
 If you need to attach a specific log level to a `tracef()` call, use
 man:tracelog(3) instead.
 
 See also the <<limitations,LIMITATIONS>> section below for important
-limitations to consider when using `tracef()`.
