It's rather boring to clear symbol one by one in ksym_trace_filter
file, so, this patch will let ksym_trace_filter file support quickly
clear all break points. We can write "0" to this file and it will clear
all symbols
for example:
# cat ksym_trace_filter
ksym_filter_head:rw-
global_trace:rw-
# echo 0 > ksym_trace_filter
# cat ksym_trace_filter
#
Changelog v1->v2:
Add other ways to clear all breakpoints by writing NULL or "*:---"
to ksym_trace_filter file base on K.Prasad's suggestion

This patch fix 2 bugs:
- fix the return value of ksym_trace_filter_write() when we want to
clear symbol in ksym_trace_filter file
for example:
# echo global_trace:rw- > /debug/tracing/ksym_trace_filter
# echo global_trace:--- > /debug/tracing/ksym_trace_filter
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
# cat /debug/tracing/ksym_trace_filter
#
We want to clear 'global_trace' in ksym_trace_filter, it complain
with "Invalid argument", but the operation is successful
- the "r--" access types is not allowed, but ksym_trace_filter file think
it OK
for example:
# echo ksym_tracer_mutex:r-- > ksym_trace_filter
-bash: echo: write error: Resource temporarily unavailable
# dmesg
ksym_tracer request failed. Try again later!!
The error occur at register_kernel_hw_breakpoint(), but It's should
at access types parser

When access type is changed, the hw break point will be
unregistered and then be registered again with new access
type. But the registration may fail, in this case, -errno
should be returned.

Reading ksym_trace_filter gave me some arbitrary characters,
when it should show nothing. It's because buf is not initialized
when there's no filter.
Also reduce stack usage by about 512 bytes.

struct trace_ksym is used as an entry in hbp list, and is also
used as trace_entry stored in ring buffer.
This is not necessary and is a waste of memory in ring buffer.
There is also a bug that dereferencing field->ksym_hbp in
ksym_trace_output() can be invalid.

ksym_tracer_mutex is declared inside an #ifdef CONFIG_PROFILE_KSYM_TRACER
section. This makes it unavailable for the hardware breakpoint tracer if it is
configured without the breakpoint profiler.

This patch adds an ftrace plugin to detect and profile memory access over kernel
variables. It uses HW Breakpoint interfaces to 'watch memory addresses.
