[PATCH v3] tracepoint: add new `tcp:tcp_ca_event` trace event

From: Zheao Li
Date: Sat Aug 12 2023 - 16:14:12 EST


In normal use case, the tcp_ca_event would be changed in high frequency.

The developer can monitor the network quality more easier by tracing
TCP stack with this TP event.

So I propose to add a `tcp:tcp_ca_event` trace event
like `tcp:tcp_cong_state_set` to help the people to
trace the TCP connection status
