Subject: [PATCH 3/3] tracing: Add 2 new funcs. for kernel access to Ftrace instances.

Adding 2 new functions -
1) trace_array_lookup : Look up and return a trace array, given its
name.
2) trace_array_set_clr_event : Enable/disable event recording to the
given trace array.

Newly added functions trace_array_lookup and trace_array_create also
need to increment the reference counter associated with the trace array
they return. This is to ensure the trace array does not get freed
while in use by the newly introduced APIs.
The reference ctr is decremented in the trace_array_destroy.

Needs a comment for why the ref is incremented.

Need a comment to why we need to do a put here.

Need a kerneldoc heading here, that also states that if a trace_array
is returned, it requires a call to trace_array_put().

If we have this, should we get rid of the external use of
ftrace_set_clr_event()?

Hi Steven,

Thanks for reviewing the patch. I have made a note of all the suggested
changes, comment requirements.

Will send them out soon as v2.

I think so too. External use of trace_array_set_clr_event is more
convenient and intuitive. Will make the change.
