ftrace: tracer for scheduler wakeup latency

This patch adds the tracer that tracks the wakeup latency of the
highest priority waking task.

  "wakeup" is added to /debugfs/tracing/available_tracers

Also added to /debugfs/tracing

  tracing_max_latency
     holds the current max latency for the wakeup

  wakeup_thresh
     if set to other than zero, a log will be recorded
     for every wakeup that takes longer than the number
     entered in here (usecs for all counters)
     (deletes previous trace)

Examples:

  (with ftrace_enabled = 0)
