tracing/kmemtrace: normalize the raw tracer event to the unified tracing API

Impact: new tracer plugin

This patch adapts kmemtrace raw events tracing to the unified tracing API.

To enable and use this tracer, just do the following:

 echo kmemtrace > /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer
 cat /debugfs/tracing/trace

You will have the following output:

 # tracer: kmemtrace

That was to stay backward compatible with the format output produced in
inux/tracepoint.h.

This is the default ouput, but note that I tried something else.

If you change an option:

echo kmem_minimalistic > /debugfs/trace_options

and then cat /debugfs/trace, you will have the following output:

 # tracer: kmemtrace
 #
 #
 # ALLOC  TYPE  REQ   GIVEN  FLAGS           POINTER         NODE    CALLER

Yeah I shall confess kmem_minimalistic should be: kmem_alternative.

Whatever, I find it more readable but this a personal opinion of course.
We can drop it if you want.

On the ALLOC/FREE column, + means an allocation and - a free.

On the type column, you have K = kmalloc, C = cache, P = page

I would like the flags to be GFP_* strings but that would not be easy to not
break the column with strings....

About the node...it seems to always be -1. I don't know why but that shouldn't
be difficult to find.

I moved linux/tracepoint.h to trace/tracepoint.h as well. I think that would
be more easy to find the tracer headers if they are all in their common
directory.
