tracing: Export tracing clock functions
Critical tracepoint hooks should never call anything that takes a lock, so they are unable to call getrawmonotonic() or ktime_get(). Export the rest of the tracing clock functions so can be used in tracepoint hooks. Background: We have a customer that adds their own module and registers a tracepoint hook to sched_wakeup. They were using ktime_get() for a time source, but it grabs a seq lock and caused a deadlock to occur.
