writeback: add more tracepoints


Add tracepoints for page dirtying, writeback_single_inode start, inode
dirtying and writeback.  For the latter two inode events, a pair of
events are defined to denote start and end of the operations (the
starting one has _start suffix and the one w/o suffix happens after
the operation is complete).  These inode ops are FS specific and can
be non-trivial and having enclosing tracepoints is useful for external
tracers.

This is part of tracepoint additions to improve visiblity into
dirtying / writeback operations for io tracer and userland.

v2: writeback_dirty_inode[_start] TPs may be called for files on
    pseudo FSes w/ unregistered bdi.  Check whether bdi->dev is %NULL
    before dereferencing.

v3: buffer dirtying moved to a block TP.
