Background
==
Detecting IPI *reception* is relatively easy, e.g. using
trace_irq_handler_{entry,exit} or even just function-trace
flush_smp_call_function_queue() for SMP calls.
Figuring out their *origin*, is trickier as there is no generic tracepoint tied
to e.g. smp_call_function():
trace_ipi_raise() is unsuitable for generically tracing IPI sources due to
its "reason" argument being an uninformative string (on arm64 all you get
is "Function call interrupts" for SMP calls).
Add a variant of it that exports a target cpumask, a callsite and a callback.

send_call_function_single_ipi() is the thing that sends IPIs at the bottom
of smp_call_function*() via either generic_exec_single() or
smp_call_function_many_cond(). Give it an IPI-related tracepoint.
Note that this ends up tracing any IPI sent via __smp_call_single_queue(),
which covers __ttwu_qu
This simply wraps around the arch function and prepends it with a
tracepoint, similar to send_call_function_single_ipi().

To be able to trace invocations of smp_send_reschedule(), rename the
arch-specific definitions of it to arch_smp_send_reschedule() and wrap it
into an smp_send_reschedule() that contains a tracepoint.
Changes to include the declaration of the tracepoint were driven by the

IPIs sent to remote CPUs via irq_work_queue_on() are now covered by
trace_ipi_send_cpumask(), add another instance of the tracepoint to cover
self-IPIs.

Accessing the call_single_queue hasn't involved a spinlock since 2014:

The llist operations (namely cmpxchg() and xchg()) provide similar ordering
guarantees, update the comment to lessen confusion.

Context

The newly-introduced ipi_send_cpumask tracepoint has a "callback" parameter
which so far has only been fed with NULL.
While CSD_TYPE_SYNC/ASYNC and CSD_TYPE_IRQ_WORK share a similar backing
struct layout (meaning their callback func can be accessed without caring
about the actual
