	Using initcall_t in the __field macro generates the following warning with clang version 6.0: include/trace/events/initcall.h:34:3: warning: ordered comparison of function pointers ('initcall_t' (aka 'int (*)(void)') and 'initcall_t') __field macro expands to __field_ext macro which does is_signed_type check on the type argument. Since initcall_t is defined as a function pointer, using it as the type in the __field macro, leads to an ordered comparison of function pointer warning, inside the check. Using __field_struct macro avoids the issue.

2018-04-06	init, tracing: Add initcall trace events	Steven Rostedt (VMware)
	Being able to trace the start and stop of initcalls is useful to see where the timings are an issue. There is already an "initcall_debug" parameter, but that can cause a large overhead itself, as the printing of the information may take longer than the initcall functions. Adding in a start and finish trace event around the initcall functions, as well as a trace event that records the level of the initcalls, one can get a much finer measurement of the times and interactions of the initcalls themselves, as trace events are much lighter than printk()s.
