Markus Heiser 2cd6ff4ac0 docs: ftrace-uses.rst fix varios code-block directives
ftrace-uses.rst is not yet included into any toctree, but since it is
a .rst file, it is parsed by the Sphinx build. Thats, why we see some
WARNINGS:

- trace/ftrace-uses.rst:53: WARNING: Definition list ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.
- trace/ftrace-uses.rst:89: WARNING: Inline emphasis start-string without end-string.
- trace/ftrace-uses.rst:89: WARNING: Inline emphasis start-string without end-strin

Fixing the code-block directives results in a less noisy build, but the 'not
included' WARNING will be stay:

- trace/ftrace-uses.rst: WARNING: document isn't included in any toctree

Steven Rostedt b4d9421098 ftrace/docs: Add documentation on how to use ftrace from within the kernel
With the coming removal of jprobes, using ftrace callbacks is one of the
utilities that replace the jprobes functionality. Having a document that
explains how to use ftrace as such will help in the transition from jprobes
to ftrace. This document is for kernel developers that require attaching a
callback to a function within the kernel.
