    Impact: new likely/unlikely branch tracer
    
    This patch adds a way to record the instances of the likely() and unlikely()
    branch condition annotations.
    
    When "unlikely" is set in /debugfs/tracing/iter_ctrl the unlikely conditions
    will be added to any of the ftrace tracers. The change takes effect when
    a new tracer is passed into the current_tracer file.
    
    For example:
    
     bash-3471  [003]   357.014755: [INCORRECT] sched_info_dequeued:sched_stats.h:177
     bash-3471  [003]   357.014756: [correct] update_curr:sched_fair.c:489
     bash-3471  [003]   357.014758: [correct] calc_delta_fair:sched_fair.c:411
     bash-3471  [003]   357.014759: [correct] account_group_exec_runtime:sched_stats.h:356
     bash-3471  [003]   357.014761: [correct] update_curr:sched_fair.c:489
     bash-3471  [003]   357.014763: [INCORRECT] calc_delta_fair:sched_fair.c:411
     bash-3471  [003]   357.014765: [correct] calc_delta_mine:sched.c:1279
    
    Which shows the normal tracer heading, as well as whether the condition was
    correct "[correct]" or was mistaken "[INCORRECT]", followed by the function,
    file name and line number.
