tracing: Pushdown the bkl tracepoints calls
Currently we are calling the bkl tracepoint callbacks just before the bkl lock/unlock operations, ie the tracepoint call is not inside a lock_kernel() function but inside a lock_kernel() macro. Hence the bkl trace event header must be included from smp_lock.h. This raises some nasty circular header dependencies: linux/smp_lock.h -> trace/events/bkl.h -> trace/define_trace.h -> trace/ftrace.h -> linux/ftrace_event.h -> linux/hardirq.h -> linux/smp_lock.h This results in incomplete event declarations, spurious event definitions and other kind of funny behaviours. This is hardly fixable without ugly workarounds. So instead, we push the file name, line number and function name as lock_kernel() parameters, so that we only deal with the trace event header from lib/kernel_lock.c This adds two parameters to lock_kernel() and unlock_kernel() but it should be fine wrt to performances because this pair dos not seem to be called in fast paths.
