x86/mpx: Trace the attempts to find bounds tables
There are two different events being traced here. They are doing similar things so share a trace "EVENT_CLASS" and are presented together. 1. Trace when MPX is zapping pages "mpx_unmap_zap": When MPX can not free an entire bounds table, it will instead try to zap unused parts of a bounds table to free the backing memory. This decreases RSS (resident set size) without decreasing the virtual space allocated for bounds tables. 2. Trace attempts to find bounds tables "mpx_unmap_search": This event traces any time we go looking to unmap a bounds table for a given virtual address range. This is useful to ensure that the kernel actually "tried" to free a bounds table versus times it succeeded in finding one. It might try and fail if it realized that a table was shared with an adjacent VMA which is not being unmapped.
