In DLM when we send a dlm message it is easy to add the lock resource
name, but additional lookup is required when to trace the receive
message side. The idea here is to move the lookup work to the user by
using a lookup to find the right send message with recv message. As note
DLM can't drop any message which is guaranteed by a special session
layer.
For doing the lookup a 3 tupel is required as an unique identification
which is dst nodeid, src nodeid and sequence number. This patch adds the
destination nodeid to the dlm message trace points. The source nodeid is
given by the h_nodeid field inside the header.

This patch adds tracepoints for send and recv cases of dlm messages and
dlm rcom messages. In case of send and dlm message we add the dlm rsb
resource name this dlm messages belongs to. This has the advantage to
follow dlm messages on a per lock basis. In case of recv message the
resource name can be extracted by follow the send message sequence
number.
The dlm message DLM_MSG_PURGE doesn't belong to a lock request and will
not set the resource name in a dlm_message trace. The same for all rcom
messages.
There is additional handling required for this debugging functionality
which is tried to be small as possible. Also the midcomms layer gets
aware of lock resource names, for now this is required to make a
connection between sequence number and lock resource names. It is for
debugging purpose only.

The resource name parameter should never be changed by DLM so we declare
it as const. At some point it is handled as a char pointer, a resource
name can be a non printable ascii string as well. This patch change it
to handle it as void pointer as it is offered by DLM API.

This patch adds trace callbacks for user locks. Unfortenately user locks
are handled in a different way than kernel locks in some cases. User
locks never call the dlm_lock()/dlm_unlock() kernel API and use the next
step internal API of dlm. Adding those traces from user API callers
should make it possible for dlm trace system to see lock handling for
user locks as well.

This patch adds the resource name to dlm tracepoints. The name
usually comes through the lkb_resource, but in some cases a resource
may not yet be associated with an lkb, in which case the name and
namelen parameters are used.
It should be okay to access the lkb_resource and the res_name field at
the time when the tracepoint is invoked. The resource is assigned to a
lkb and it's reference is being held during the tracepoint call. During
this time the resource cannot be freed. Also a lkb will never switch
its assigned resource. The name of a dlm_rsb is assigned at creation
time and should never be changed during runtime as well.
The TP_printk() call uses always a hexadecimal string array
representation for the resource name (which is not necessarily ascii.)

This patch removes a dereference of lksb of lkb when calling ast
tracepoint. First it reduces additional overhead, even if traces
are not active. Second we can deference it in TP_fast_assign from
the existing lkb parameter.

This patch adds tracepoints for dlm socket receive and send
functionality. We can use it to track how much data was send or received
to or from a specific nodeid.

This patch adds initial support for dlm tracepoints. It will introduce
tracepoints to dlm main functionality dlm_lock()/dlm_unlock() and their
complete ast() callback or blocking bast() callback.
The lock/unlock functionality has a start and end tracepoint, this is
because there exists a race in case if would have a tracepoint at the
end position only the complete/blocking callbacks could occur before. To
work with eBPF tracing and using their lookup hash functionality there
could be problems that an entry was not inserted yet. However use the
start functionality for hash insert and check again in end functionality
if there was an dlm internal error so there is no ast callback. In further
it might also that locks with local masters will occur those callbacks
immediately so we must have such functionality.
I did not make everything accessible yet, although it seems eBPF can be
used to access a lot of internal datastructures if it's aware of the
struct definitions of the running kernel instance. We still can change
it, if you do eBPF experiments e.g. time measurements between lock and
callback functionality you can simple use the local lkb_id field as hash
value in combination with the lockspace id if you have multiple
lockspaces. Otherwise you can simple use trace-cmd for some functionality,
e.g. `trace-cmd record -e dlm` and `trace-cmd report` afterwards.
