timers: Add tracepoints for timer_list timers

Add tracepoints which cover the timer life cycle. The tracepoints are
integrated with the already existing debug_object debug points as far
as possible.

Based on patches from 
Mathieu: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123791201816247&w=2
and 
Anton: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=124331396919301&w=2

[ tglx: Fixed timeout value in timer_start tracepoint, massaged
  comments and made the printk's more readable ]
