tipc: add trace_events for tipc link



The commit adds the new trace_events for TIPC link object:

trace_tipc_link_timeout()
trace_tipc_link_fsm()
trace_tipc_link_reset()
trace_tipc_link_too_silent()
trace_tipc_link_retrans()
trace_tipc_link_bc_ack()
trace_tipc_link_conges()

And the traces for PROTOCOL messages at building and receiving:

trace_tipc_proto_build()
trace_tipc_proto_rcv()

Note:
a) The 'tipc_link_too_silent' event will only happen when the
'silent_intv_cnt' is about to reach the 'abort_limit' value (and the
event is enabled). The benefit for this kind of event is that we can
get an early indication about TIPC link loss issue due to timeout, then
can do some necessary actions for troubleshooting.

For example: To trigger the 'tipc_proto_rcv' when the 'too_silent'
event occurs:

echo 'enable_event:tipc:tipc_proto_rcv' > \
      events/tipc/tipc_link_too_silent/trigger

And disable it when TIPC link is reset:

echo 'disable_event:tipc:tipc_proto_rcv' > \
      events/tipc/tipc_link_reset/trigger

b) The 'tipc_link_retrans' or 'tipc_link_bc_ack' event is useful to
trace TIPC retransmission issues.

In addition, the commit adds the 'trace_tipc_list/link_dump()' at the
'retransmission failure' case. Then, if the issue occurs, the link
'transmq' along with the link data can be dumped for post-analysis.
These dump events should be enabled by default since it will only take
effect when the failure happens.

The same approach is also applied for the faulty case that the
validation of protocol message is failed.
