[PATCH v5 05/37] ring-buffer: Add interface for setting absolute time stamps

[Tom Zanussi]

Define a new function, tracing_set_time_stamp_abs(), which can be used
to enable or disable the use of absolute timestamps rather than time
deltas for a trace array.

Only the interface is added here; a subsequent patch will add the
underlying implementation.
