tracing/bkl: Add bkl ftrace events

Add two events lock_kernel and unlock_kernel() to trace the bkl uses.
This opens the door for userspace tools to perform statistics about
the callsites that use it, dependencies with other locks (by pairing
the trace with lock events), use with recursivity and so on...

The {__reacquire,release}_kernel_lock() events are not traced because
these are called from schedule, thus the sched events are sufficient
to trace them.

Example of a trace:

hald-addon-stor-4152  [000]   165.875501: unlock_kernel: depth: 0, fs/block_dev.c:1358 __blkdev_put()
hald-addon-stor-4152  [000]   167.832974: lock_kernel: depth: 0, fs/block_dev.c:1167 __blkdev_get()

How to get the callsites that acquire it recursively:

cd /debug/tracing/events/bkl
echo "lock_depth > 0" > filter

firefox-4951  [001]   206.276967: unlock_kernel: depth: 1, fs/reiserfs/super.c:575 reiserfs_dirty_inode()

You can also filter by file and/or line.

v2: Use of FILTER_PTR_STRING attribute for files and lines fields to
    make them traceable.
