kmemtrace: restore original tracing data binary format, improve ABI
When kmemtrace was ported to ftrace, the marker strings were taken as an indication of how the traced data was being exposed to the userspace. However, the actual format had been binary, not text. This restores the original binary format, while also adding an origin CPU field (since ftrace doesn't expose the data per-CPU to userspace), and re-adding the timestamp field. It also drops arch-independent field sizing where it didn't make sense, so pointers won't always be 64 bits wide like they used to.
