Török Edwin 02b67518e2 tracing: add support for userspace stacktraces in tracing/iter_ctrl
Impact: add new (default-off) tracing visualization feature

Usage example:

 mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug
 cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
 echo userstacktrace >iter_ctrl
 echo sched_switch >current_tracer
 echo 1 >tracing_enabled
 .... run application ...
 echo 0 >tracing_enabled

Then read one of 'trace','latency_trace','trace_pipe'.

To get the best output you can compile your userspace programs with
frame pointers (at least glibc + the app you are tracing).
