[PATCHv4 14/14] writeback: add new tracepoints

[Artem Bityutskiy]

From: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@xxxxxxxxx>

Add 2 new trace points to the periodic write-back wake up case, just like we do
in the 'bdi_queue_work()' function. Namely, introduce:

1. trace_writeback_wakeup(bdi)
2. trace_writeback_wakeup_nothread(bdi)

The first event is triggered every time we wake up a bdi thread to start
periodic background write-out. The second event is triggered only when the bdi
thread does not exist and should be created by the forker thread.

This patch was suggested by Dave Chinner <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
