Deadline tasks behave differently of other tasks because deadline
task's also depend on their period, deadline and runtime.

Hence, the well known sched:sched_wakeup and sched:sched_switch
tracepoints are not always enough to precisely explain the behavior of a
deadline task with respect to the task's period, deadline and runtime
consumption.

This patch series implements tracepoints for the following deadline
scheduler points of interest:

- sched:sched_deadline_replenish: Informs the periodic runtime
replenishment of a deadline task.

- sched:sched_deadline_yield: Informs that a deadline task called
sched_yield(), and will wait for the next period.

- sched:sched_deadline_throttle: Informs that a task consumed all its
available runtime and was throttled.

- sched:sched_deadline_block: Informs that a deadline task went to sleep
waiting to be awakened by another task.
