Impact: fix to prevent developers from using entry->cpu

With the new ring buffer infrastructure, the cpu for the entry is
implicit with which CPU buffer it is on.

The original code use to record the current cpu into the generic
entry header, which can be retrieved by entry->cpu. When the
ring buffer was introduced, the users were convert to use the
the cpu number of which cpu ring buffer was in use (this was passed
to the tracers by the iterator: iter->cpu).

Unfortunately, the cpu item in the entry structure was never removed.
This allowed for developers to use it instead of the proper iter->cpu,
unknowingly, using an uninitialized variable. This was not the fault
of the developers, since it would seem like the logical place to
retrieve the cpu identifier.

This patch removes the cpu item from the entry structure and fixes
all the users that should have been using iter->cpu.

Reset the ftrace buffer on close. Since we use cyclic buffers, the

Impact: Reduce future memory usage, use new cpumask API.

Since the last patch was created and acked, more old cpumask users
slipped into kernel/trace.

Mostly trivial conversions, except struct trace_iterator's "started"
member becomes a cpumask_var_t.

Impact: simplify/generalize/refactor trace.c

The trace.c file is becoming more difficult to maintain due to the
growing number of events. There is several formats that an event may
be printed. This patch sets up the infrastructure of an event hash to
allow for events to register how they should be printed.

Impact: add new ftrace plugin

A prototype for a BTS ftrace plug-in.

The tracer collects branch trace in a cyclic buffer for each cpu.

The tracer is not configurable and the trace for each snapshot is
appended when doing cat /debug/tracing/trace.

This is a proof of concept that will be extended with future patches
to become a (hopefully) useful tool.
