Beau Belgrave 3727db1c09 tracing/user_events: Document multi-format flag
User programs can now ask user_events to handle the synchronization of
multiple different formats for an event with the same name via the new
USER_EVENT_REG_MULTI_FORMAT flag.

Add a section for USER_EVENT_REG_MULTI_FORMAT that explains the intended
purpose and caveats of using it. Explain how deletion works in these
cases and how to use /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events for per-version
deletion.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the ReStructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
