Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 4/5] skb: add tracepoints to freeing skb

From: Koki Sanagi <[email-masked]>

CHANGE-LOG since v3:
  -remove tracepoint of dev_kfree_skb_irq and skb_free_datagram_locked.
   Insead of them, add trace_kfree_skb before __kfree_skb in net_tx_action and
   skb_free_datagram_locked. And there is no change of about the location of
   trace_consume_skb to keep a symmetry against trace_kfree_skb.

This patch adds tracepoint to consume_skb and add trace_kfree_skb before
__kfree_skb in skb_free_datagram_locked and net_tx_action.
Combinating with tracepoint on dev_hard_start_xmit, we can check how long it
takes to free transmited packets. And using it, we can calculate how many
packets driver had at that time. It is useful when a drop of transmited packet
is a problem.
