Steven Rostedt 52f232cb72 tracing: likely/unlikely branch annotation tracer
Impact: new likely/unlikely branch tracer

This patch adds a way to record the instances of the likely() and unlikely()
branch condition annotations.

When "unlikely" is set in /debugfs/tracing/iter_ctrl the unlikely conditions
will be added to any of the ftrace tracers. The change takes effect when
a new tracer is passed into the current_tracer file.

For example:

 bash-3471  [003]   357.014755: [INCORRECT] sched_info_dequeued:sched_stats.h:177
 bash-3471  [003]   357.014756: [correct] update_curr:sched_fair.c:489
 bash-3471  [003]   357.014758: [correct] calc_delta_fair:sched_fair.c:411
 bash-3471  [003]   357.014759: [correct] account_group_exec_runtime:sched_stats.h:356
 bash-3471  [003]   357.014761: [correct] update_curr:sched_fair.c:489
 bash-3471  [003]   357.014763: [INCORRECT] calc_delta_fair:sched_fair.c:411
 bash-3471  [003]   357.014765: [correct] calc_delta_mine:sched.c:1279

Which shows the normal tracer heading, as well as whether the condition was
correct "[correct]" or was mistaken "[INCORRECT]", followed by the function,
file name and line number.
