This patch adds the "format" file to the trace point event directory.
This is based off of work by Tom Zanussi, in which a file is exported
to be tread from user land such that a user space app may read the
binary record stored in the ring buffer.

 # cat /debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/format
        field:pid_t prev_pid;   offset:12;      size:4;
        field:int prev_prio;    offset:16;      size:4;
        field special:char next_comm[TASK_COMM_LEN];    offset:20;      size:16;
        field:pid_t next_pid;   offset:36;      size:4;
        field:int next_prio;    offset:40;      size:4;
