tracing: Print trace_bprintk() formats for modules too
The file debugfs/tracing/printk_formats maps the addresses to the formats that are used by trace_bprintk() so that userspace tools can read the buffer and be able to decode trace_bprintk events to get the format saved when reading the ring buffer directly. This is because trace_bprintk() does not store the format into the buffer, but just the address of the format, which is hidden in the kernel memory. But currently it only exports trace_bprintk()s from the kernel core and not for modules. The modules need their formats exported as well. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

+ * The debugfs/tracing/printk_formats file maps the addresses with
+ * the ASCII formats that are used in the bprintk events in the
+ * buffer. For userspace tools to be able to decode the events from
+ * the buffer, they need to be able to map the address with the format.
+ *
+ * The addresses of the bprintk formats are in their own section
+ * __trace_printk_fmt. But for modules we copy them into a link list.
+ * The code to print the formats and their addresses passes around the
+ * address of the fmt string. If the fmt address passed into the seq
+ * functions is within the kernel core __trace_printk_fmt section, then
+ * it simply uses the next pointer in the list.
+ *
+ * When the fmt pointer is outside the kernel core __trace_printk_fmt
+ * section, then we need to read the link list pointers. The trick is
+ * we pass the address of the string to the seq function just like
+ * we do for the kernel core formats. To get back the structure that
+ * holds the format, we simply use containerof() and then go to the
+ * next format in the list.
