The canonical location for the tracefs filesystem is at /sys/kernel/tracing.
But, from Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst:
Before 4.1, all ftrace tracing control files were within the debugfs
file system, which is typically located at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing.
For backward compatibility, when mounting the debugfs file system,
the tracefs file system will be automatically mounted at:
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing
A few spots in the perf docs still refer to this older debugfs path, so
let's update them to avoid confusion.

Considering that perf and its subcommands have so many parameters, the
documentation is always the first stop for perf beginners. Fixing some
spelling errors will relax the eyes of some readers a little bit.

I've tested to process the perf man pages with asciidoctor that is
picker than asciidoc, and it revealed minor syntax errors in some
documents. Namely, the title markers aren't aligned with the previous
line, hence asciidoctor didn't recognize as titles.
This patch corrects these markers to be processed properly.

Neil Brown pointed out that lock_depth somehow escaped the BKL
removal work. Let's get rid of it now.
Note that the perf scripting utilities still have a bunch of
code for dealing with common_lock_depth in tracepoints; I have
left that in place in case anybody wants to use that code with
older kernels.

Free the perf trace name space and rename the trace to 'script' which is a
better match for the scripting engine.
