[PATCH v4 11/22] perf: add ITRACE_START record to indicate that tracing has started

[Alexander Shishkin]

For counters such as instruction tracing, it is useful for the decoder
to know which tasks are running when the event is first scheduled in,
before the first sched_switch.

To single out such instruction tracing pmus, this patch alse introduces
ITRACE PMU capability.
