smp: Change function signatures to use call_single_data_t

call_single_data_t is a size-aligned typedef of struct __call_single_data.

This alignment is desirable in order to have smp_call_function*() avoid
bouncing an extra cacheline in case of an unaligned csd, given this
would hurt performance.

Since the removal of struct request->csd in commit 660e802c76c8
("blk-mq: use percpu csd to remote complete instead of per-rq csd") there
are no current users of smp_call_function*() with unaligned csd.

Change every 'struct __call_single_data' function parameter to
'call_single_data_t', so we have warnings if any new code tries to
introduce an smp_call_function*() call with unaligned csd.

trace,smp: Add tracepoints for scheduling remotelly called functions

Add a tracepoint for when a CSD is queued to a remote CPU's
call_single_queue. This allows finding exactly which CPU queued a given CSD
when looking at a csd_function_{entry,exit} event, and also enables us to
accurately measure IPI delivery time with e.g. a synthetic event:

$ echo 'hist:keys=cpu,csd.hex:ts=common_timestamp.usecs' >\
/sys/kernel/tracing/events/smp/csd_queue_cpu/trigger
$ echo 'csd_latency unsigned int dst_cpu; unsigned long csd; u64 time' >\
/sys/kernel/tracing/synthetic_events
$ echo \
'hist:keys=common_cpu,csd.hex:'\
'time=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts:'\
'onmatch(smp.csd_queue_cpu).trace(csd_latency,common_cpu,csd,$time)' >\
/sys/kernel/tracing/events/smp/csd_function_entry/trigger

trace,smp: Add tracepoints around remotelly called functions

The recently added ipi_send_{cpu,cpumask} tracepoints allow finding sources
of IPIs targeting CPUs running latency-sensitive applications.

For NOHZ_FULL CPUs, all IPIs are interference, and those tracepoints are
sufficient to find them and work on getting rid of them. In some setups
however, not *all* IPIs are to be suppressed, but long-running IPI
callbacks can still be problematic.

Add a pair of tracepoints to mark the start and end of processing a CSD IPI
callback, similar to what exists for softirq, workqueue or timer callbacks.
