tracing: add __print_flags for events

Developers have been asking for the ability in the ftrace event tracer
to display names of bits in a flags variable.

Instead of printing out c2, it would be easier to read FOO|BAR|GOO,
assuming that FOO is bit 1, BAR is bit 6 and GOO is bit 7.

Some examples where this would be useful are the state flags in a context
switch, kmalloc flags, and even permision flags in accessing files.

[
  v2 changes include:

  Frederic Weisbecker's idea of using a mask instead of bits,
  thus we can output GFP_KERNEL instead of GPF_WAIT|GFP_IO|GFP_FS.

  Li Zefan's idea of allowing the caller of __print_flags to add their
  own delimiter (or no delimiter) where we can get for file permissions
  rwx instead of r|w|x.
]

[
  v3 changes:

   Christoph Hellwig's idea of using an array instead of va_args.
]

[ Impact: better displaying of flags in trace output ]
