[PATCH v2 0/2] Add tracepoints around mmap_lock acquisition

[Axel Rasmussen <axelrasmussen@google.com>]

This patchset adds tracepoints around mmap_lock acquisition. This is useful so
we can measure the latency of lock acquisition, in order to detect contention.

This version is based upon linux-next (since it depends on some recently-merged
patches [1] [2]), and incorporates feedback from the review of the previous
version:

- Functions renamed to reserve the "trace_" prefix for actual tracepoints.

- We no longer measure the duration directly. Instead, users are expected to
  construct a synthetic event which computes the interval between "start
  locking" and "acquire returned".

- The new helper for checking if tracepoints are enabled in a header is used to
  avoid un-inlining any of the lock wrappers. This yields ~zero overhead if the
  tracepoints aren't enabled, and therefore obviates the need for a Kconfig for
  this change.
