tracing: Add TRACE_EVENT_FN example
If a function should be called before a tracepoint is enabled and/or after it is disabled, the TRACE_EVENT_FN() serves this purpose. But it is not well documented. Having it as a sample would help developers to know how to use it. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
