The raw_spin* namespace was taken by lockdep for the architecture
specific implementations. raw_spin_* would be the ideal name space for
the spinlocks which are not converted to sleeping locks in preempt-rt.
Linus suggested to convert the raw_ to arch_ locks and cleanup the
name space instead of using an artifical name like core_spin,
atomic_spin or whatever
No functional change.

Disabling interrupts in trace_clock_local takes quite a performance
hit to the recording of traces. Using perf top we see:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PerfTop: 244 irqs/sec kernel:100.0% [1000Hz cpu-clock-msecs], (all, 4 CPUs)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

11.00 - 0.2% : getnstimeofday
Where trace_clock_local is 40% of the tracing, and the time for recording
a trace according to ring_buffer_benchmark is 210ns. After converting
the interrupts to preemption disabling we have from perf top:

101.00 - 1.3% : ring_buffer_event_data
53.00 - 0.7% : tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick
Where trace_clock_local drops from 40% to only taking 4% of the total time.
The trace time also goes from 210ns down to 179ns (31ns).
I talked with Peter Zijlstra about the impact that sched_clock may have
without having interrupts disabled, and he told me that if a timer interrupt
comes in, sched_clock may report a wrong time.
Balancing a seldom incorrect timestamp with a 15% performance boost, I'll
take the performance boost.

The prev_trace_clock_time is only read or written to when the
trace_clock_lock is taken. For better perfomance, they
should share the same cache line.

Impact: cleanup.
This patch fixes the following sparse warnings:
kernel/trace/trace.c:385:9: warning: symbol 'trace_seq_to_buffer' was
not declared. Should it be static?
kernel/trace/trace_clock.c:29:13: warning: symbol 'trace_clock_local'
was not declared. Should it be static?
kernel/trace/trace_clock.c:54:13: warning: symbol 'trace_clock' was not
declared. Should it be static?
kernel/trace/trace_clock.c:74:13: warning: symbol 'trace_clock_global'
was not declared. Should it be static?

Using the function_graph tracer in recent kernels generates a spew of
preemption BUGs. Fix this by not requiring trace_clock_local() users
to disable preemption themselves.

Impact: implement new tracing timestamp APIs
Add three trace clock variants, with differing scalability/precision
tradeoffs:
- local: CPU-local trace clock
- medium: scalable global clock with some jitter
- global: globally monotonic, serialized clock
Make the ring-buffer use the local trace clock internally.
