[PATCH][RFC] tracing/rcu: Add trace_##name##__rcuidle() static tracepoint for inside rcu_idle_exit() sections

As I have said, I may find a better solution than to create a
TRACE_EVENT_IDLE(), and I believe I have :-)

A added a new static inline function that lets *any* tracepoint be used
inside a rcu_idle_exit() section. And this also solves the problem where
the same tracepoint may be used inside a rcu_idle_exit() section as well
as outside of one.

I added a new tracepoint function with a "_rcuidle" extension. All
tracepoints can be used with either the normal "trace_foobar()"
function, or the "trace_foobar_rcuidle()" function when inside a
rcu_idle_exit() section.

Ideally, this patch would be broken up into two commits. The first would
change the tracepoint.h to introduce the new trace_foobar_rcuidle()
static inline, and the second patch would change the power tracepoints
to use this tracepoint function. For the RFC, I'm keeping it as a single
patch.

Another nice aspect about this patch is that "static inline"s are not
compiled into text when not used. So only the tracepoints that actually
use the _rcuidle() version will have them defined in the actual text
that is booted.
