tracing: export stats of ring buffers to userspace

This patch adds stats to the ftrace ring buffers:

 # cat /debugfs/tracing/per_cpu/cpu0/stats
 entries: 42360
 overrun: 30509326
 commit overrun: 0
 nmi dropped: 0

Where entries are the total number of data entries in the buffer.

overrun is the number of entries not consumed and were overwritten by
the writer.

commit overrun is the number of entries dropped due to nested writers
wrapping the buffer before the initial writer finished the commit.

nmi dropped is the number of entries dropped due to the ring buffer
lock being held when an nmi was going to write to the ring buffer.
Note, this field will be meaningless and will go away when the ring
buffer becomes lockless.

[ Impact: let userspace know what is happening in the ring buffers ]
