The dyntick-idle traces are a bit confusing. This patch makes it simpler and adds some missing cases such as EQS-enter because user vs idle mode. Following are the changes: (1) Add a new context field to trace_rcu_dyntick tracepoint. This context field can be "USER", "IDLE" or "IRQ". (2) Remove the "++=" and "--=" strings and replace them with "StillNonIdle". This is much easier on the eyes, and the -- and ++ are easily apparent in the dynticks_nesting counters we are printing anyway. This patch is based on the previous patches to simplify rcu_dyntick counters [1] and with these traces, I have verified the counters are working properly.
