tracing: export trace formats to user space

The binary printk saves a pointer to the format string in the ring buffer.
On output, the format is processed. But if the user is reading the
ring buffer through a binary interface, the pointer is meaningless.

This patch creates a file called printk_formats that maps the pointers
to the formats.

 # cat /debug/tracing/printk_formats
0xffffffff80713d40 : "irq_handler_entry: irq=%d handler=%s\n"
0xffffffff80713d48 : "lock_acquire: %s%s%s\n"
0xffffffff80713d50 : "lock_release: %s\n"
