ftrace: add tracing of context switches

This patch adds context switch tracing, of the format of:

                  _------=> CPU#
                 / _-----=> irqs-off
                | / _----=> need-resched
                || / _---=> hardirq/softirq
                ||| / _--=> preempt-depth
                |||| /
                |||||     delay
    cmd     pid ||||| time  |      pid:prio:state
       \   /    |||||   \   |      /
