This adds two new lock contention tracepoints like below: * lock:contention_begin * lock:contention_end The lock:contention_begin takes a flags argument to classify locks. I found it useful to identify what kind of locks it's tracing like if it's spinning or sleeping, reader-writer lock, real-time, and per-cpu. Move tracepoint definitions into mutex.c so that we can use them without lockdep.

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.
