alarmtimer: Add tracepoints for alarm timers

Alarm timers are one of the mechanisms to wake up a system from suspend,
but there exist no tracepoints to analyse which process/thread armed an
alarmtimer.

Add tracepoints for start/cancel/expire of individual alarm timers and one
for tracing the suspend time decision when to resume the system.

The following trace excerpt illustrates the new mechanism:

Binder:3292_2-3304  [000] d..2   149.981123: alarmtimer_cancel:
alarmtimer:ffffffc1319a7800 type:REALTIME
expires:1325463120000000000 now:1325376810370370245

Binder:3292_2-3304  [000] d..2   149.981136: alarmtimer_start:
alarmtimer:ffffffc1319a7800 type:REALTIME
expires:1325376840000000000 now:1325376810370384591

Binder:3292_9-3953  [000] d..2   150.212991: alarmtimer_cancel:
alarmtimer:ffffffc1319a5a00 type:BOOTTIME
expires:179552000000 now:150154008122

Binder:3292_9-3953  [000] d..2   150.213006: alarmtimer_start:
alarmtimer:ffffffc1319a5a00 type:BOOTTIME
expires:179551000000 now:150154025622

system_server-3000  [002] ...1  162.701940: alarmtimer_suspend:
alarmtimer type:REALTIME expires:1325376840000000000

The wakeup time which is selected at suspend time allows to map it back to
the task arming the timer: Binder:3292_2.

[ tglx: Store alarm timer expiry time instead of some useless RTC relative
   information, add proper type information for wakeups which are
   handled via the clock_nanosleep/freezer and massage the changelog. ]
