Instrument .receive_buf() and read() paths with trace_printk's

tty devices have a device, we have a dev_dbg() layer. The old tty trace
predates this but there isn't really any excuse for not using it now that
I can see ?
I was using the ftrace facility because it has significantly less performance
impact than printk (which was an important factor while debugging flow control
problems).
That said, I could further macro-ize n_tty_trace() with selectable facility
(which would be useful when debugging problems that end in cpu death).
Greg,
I don't really mind if you don't want to take this patch; it is useful but
it does clutter up the code.
