tracing: Introduce trace_buffer_{lock_reserve,unlock_commit}

Impact: new API

These new functions do what previously was being open coded, reducing
the number of details ftrace plugin writers have to worry about.

It also standardizes the handling of stacktrace, userstacktrace and
other trace options we may introduce in the future.

With this patch, for instance, the blk tracer (and some others already
in the tree) can use the "userstacktrace" /d/tracing/trace_options
facility.
