Divya Indi 89ed42495e tracing: Sample module to demonstrate kernel access to Ftrace instances.
This is a sample module to demonstrate the use of the newly introduced and
exported APIs to access Ftrace instances from within the kernel.

Newly introduced APIs used here -

1. Create/Lookup a trace array with the given name.
struct trace_array *trace_array_get_by_name(const char *name)

2. Destroy/Remove a trace array.
int trace_array_destroy(struct trace_array *tr)

4. Enable/Disable trace events:
int trace_array_set_clr_event(struct trace_array *tr, const char *system,
        const char *event, bool enable);

Exported APIs -
1. trace_printk equivalent for instances.
int trace_array_printk(struct trace_array *tr,
               unsigned long ip, const char *fmt, ...);

2. Helper function.
void trace_printk_init_buffers(void);

3. To decrement the reference counter.
void trace_array_put(struct trace_array *tr)

Sample output(contents of /sys/kernel/tracing/instances/sample-instance)
NOTE: Tracing disabled after ~5 sec)
