This patch introduces event tracepoints for tracking a device_nodes
reference cycle as well as reconfig notifications generated in response
to node/property manipulations.

With the recent upstreaming of the refcount API several device_node
underflows and leaks have come to my attention in the pseries (DLPAR) dynamic
logical partitioning code (ie. POWER speak for hotplugging virtual and physcial
resources at runtime such as cpus or IOAs). These tracepoints provide a
easy and quick mechanism for validating the reference counting of
device_nodes during their lifetime.
Not really relevant for this patch, but since you are looking at
pseries and refcounting, the refcounting largely exists for pseries.
It's also hard to get right as this type of fix is fairly common. It's
now used for overlays, but we really probably only need to refcount
the overlays or changesets as a whole, not at a node level. If you
have any thoughts on how a different model of refcounting could work
for pseries, I'd like to discuss it.

Further, when pseries lpars are migrated to a different machine we
perform a live update of our device tree to bring it into alignment with the
configuration of the new machine. The of_reconfig_notify trace point
provides a mechanism that can be turned for debuging the device tree
modifications with out having to build a custom kernel to get at the
DEBUG code introduced by commit 00aa3720.

The following trace events are provided: of_node_get, of_node_put,
of_node_release, and of_reconfig_notify. These trace points require a kernel
built with ftrace support to be enabled. In a typical environment where
debugfs is mounted at /sys/kernel/debug the entire set of tracepoints
can be set with the following:

  echo "of:*" > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_event

or

  echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/of/enable

The following shows the trace point data from a DLPAR remove of a cpu
from a pseries lpar:

cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace | grep "POWER8@10"

Seems like there should be a kobj wrapper to read the refcount.
