[PATCH] of: introduce event tracepoints for dynamic device_node lifecyle

This patch introduces event tracepoints for tracking a device_nodes
reference cycle as well as reconfig notifications generated in response
to node/property manipulations.

With the recent upstreaming of the refcount API several device_node
underflows and leaks have come to my attention in the pseries (DLPAR) dynamic
logical partitioning code (ie. POWER speak for hotplugging virtual and physcial
resources at runtime such as cpus or IOAs). These tracepoints provide a
easy and quick mechanism for validating the reference counting of
device_nodes during their lifetime.

Further, when pseries lpars are migrated to a different machine we
perform a live update of our device tree to bring it into alignment with the
configuration of the new machine. The of_reconfig_notify trace point
provides a mechanism that can be turned for debuging the device tree
modifications with out having to build a custom kernel to get at the
DEBUG code introduced by commit 00aa3720.

The following trace events are provided: of_node_get, of_node_put,
of_node_release, and of_reconfig_notify. These trace points require a kernel
built with ftrace support to be enabled. In a typical environment where
debugfs is mounted at /sys/kernel/debug the entire set of tracepoints
can be set with the following:

  echo "of:*" > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_event

or

  echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/of/enable

The following shows the trace point data from a DLPAR remove of a cpu
from a pseries lpar:

cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace | grep "POWER8 at 10"
