rcu: Add tracing for RCU_FAST_NO_HZ

This commit adds trace_rcu_prep_idle(), which is invoked from
rcu_prepare_for_idle() and rcu_wake_cpu() to trace attempts on
the part of RCU to force CPUs into dyntick-idle mode.

 /*
+ * Tracepoint for RCU preparation for idle, the goal being to get RCU
+ * processing done so that the current CPU can shut off its scheduling
+ * clock and enter dyntick-idle mode.  One way to accomplish this is
+ * to drain all RCU callbacks from this CPU, and the other is to have
+ * done everything RCU requires for the current grace period.  In this
+ * latter case, the CPU will be awakened at the end of the current grace
+ * period in order to process the remainder of its callbacks.
+ *
+ * These tracepoints take a string as argument:
+ *
+ *      "No callbacks": Nothing to do, no callbacks on this CPU.
+ *      "In holdoff": Nothing to do, holding off after unsuccessful attempt.
+ *      "Dyntick with callbacks": Callbacks remain, but RCU doesn't need CPU.
+ *      "Begin holdoff": Attempt failed, don't retry until next jiffy.
+ *      "More callbacks": Still more callbacks, try again to clear them out.
+ *      "Callbacks drained": All callbacks processed, off to dyntick idle!
+ *      "CPU awakened at GP end":
