sched: Add a tracepoint to track rq->nr_running
Add a bare tracepoint trace_sched_update_nr_running_tp which tracks ->nr_running CPU's rq. This is used to accurately trace this data and provide a visualization of scheduler imbalances in, for example, the form of a heat map. The tracepoint is accessed by loading an external kernel module. An example module (forked from Qais' module and including the pelt related tracepoints) can be found at: https://github.com/auldp/tracepoints-helpers.git A script to turn the trace-cmd report output into a heatmap plot can be found at: https://github.com/jirvoz/plot-nr-running The tracepoints are added to add_nr_running() and sub_nr_running() which are in kernel/sched/sched.h. In order to avoid CREATE_TRACE_POINTS in the header a wrapper call is used and the trace/events/sched.h include is moved before sched.h in kernel/sched/core.
