    writeback: add more tracepoints · 9fb0a7da

    Add tracepoints for page dirtying, writeback_single_inode start, inode
    dirtying and writeback.  For the latter two inode events, a pair of
    events are defined to denote start and end of the operations (the
    starting one has _start suffix and the one w/o suffix happens after
    the operation is complete).  These inode ops are FS specific and can
    be non-trivial and having enclosing tracepoints is useful for external
    tracers.
    
    This is part of tracepoint additions to improve visiblity into
    dirtying / writeback operations for io tracer and userland.
    
    v2: writeback_dirty_inode[_start] TPs may be called for files on
        pseudo FSes w/ unregistered bdi.  Check whether bdi->dev is %NULL
        before dereferencing.
    
    v3: buffer dirtying moved to a block TP.
