More fixes for 8.4 DTrace probes. Remove useless BUFFER_HIT/BUFFER_MISS 

probes --- the BUFFER_READ_DONE probe provides the same information and more
besides.  Expand the LOCK_WAIT_START/DONE probe arguments so that there's
actually some chance of telling what is being waited for.  Update and
clean up the documentation.

You should remember that DTrace scripts need to be carefully written and
debugged prior to their use, otherwise the trace information collected might
be meaningless. In most cases where problems are found it is the
instrumentation that is at fault, not the underlying system. When
