[v3,0/2] mm: memcg: improve vmscan tracepoints

Message

The motivation behind this commit is to enhance the traceability and
understanding of memcg events. By integrating the function cgroup_ino()
into the existing memcg tracepoints, this patch series introduces a new
tracepoint template for the begin() and end() events. It utilizes a new
entry field ino to store the cgroup ino, enabling developers to easily
identify the cgroup associated with a specific memcg tracepoint event.

Additionally, this patch series introduces new shrink_memcg tracepoints
to facilitate non-direct memcg reclaim tracing and debugging.

Changes v3 since v2 at [2]:
    - use cgroup_ino() instead of cgroup_name() for memcg tracepoints
      because cgroup_name() acquires a global rw_lock, which can
      potentially slow down the system
    - introduce a stub macro for each shrink_memcg tracepoint to avoid
      using ifdefs within the common vmscan code."

Changes v2 since v1 at [1]:
    - change the position of the "memcg" parameter to ensure backward
      compatibility with userspace tools that use memcg tracepoints
    - add additional CONFIG_MEMCG ifdefs to prevent the use of memcg
      tracepoints when memcg is disabled
