[PATCH v7 0/5] support '%pd' and '%pD' for print file name

From: Ye Bin

During fault locating, the file name needs to be printed based on the
dentry/file address. The offset needs to be calculated each time, which
is troublesome. Similar to printk, kprobe supports printing file names
for dentry/file addresses.

Diff v7 vs v6:
1. Squash [1/8] to [3/8] patches into 1 patch;
2. Split readme_msg[] into each patch;

Diff v6 vs v5:
1. Add const for 'bufsize' in PATCH [1];
2. Move PATCH 'tracing/probes: support '%pd/%pD' type for fprobe' after
PATCH "tracing/probes: support '%pd' type for print struct dentry's name".
3. Add requires '"%pd/%pD":README' for testcase.

Diff v5 vs v4:
1. Use glob_match() instead of str_has_suffix(), so remove the first patch;
2. Allocate buffer from heap for expand dentry;
3. Support "%pd/%pD" print type for fprobe;
4. Use $arg1 instead of origin register in test case;
5. Add test case for fprobe;

Diff v4 vs v3:
1. Use "argv[i][idx + 3] == 'd'" instead of "argv[i][strlen(argv[i]) - 1] == 'd'"
to judge print format in PATCH[4/7];

Diff v3 vs v2:
1. Return the index of where the suffix was found in str_has_suffix();

Diff v2 vs v1:
1. Use "%pd/%pD" print format instead of "pd/pD" print format;
2. Add "%pd/%pD" in README;
3. Expand "%pd/%pD" argument before parameter parsing;
4. Add more detail information in ftrace documentation;
5. Add test cases for new print format in selftests/ftrace;
