[RFC][PATCH 5/7] tracing/mm: accept echo-able input format for pfn range

[Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@xxxxxxxxx>]

The seek+write style input for specifying pfn range is not scriptable.
Change it to more user friendly echo-able format.

Before patch:

	fd = open("/debug/tracing/object/mm/page/dump-pfn");
	seek(fd, start);
	write(fd, "size");

After patch:

	echo start +size > /debug/tracing/object/mm/page/dump-pfn
or
	echo start end   > /debug/tracing/object/mm/page/dump-pfn
