mm/vmscan: add balance_pgdat begin/end tracepoints

Vmscan has six main reclaim entry points: try_to_free_pages() for
direct reclaim, try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages() for memcg reclaim,
mem_cgroup_shrink_node() for memcg soft limit reclaim, node_reclaim()
for node reclaim, shrink_all_memory() for hibernation reclaim, and
balance_pgdat() for kswapd reclaim.

All of them, except for shrink_all_memory() and balance_pgdat(),
already have begin/end tracepoints.  This makes it harder to trace
which reclaim path is responsible for memory reclaim activity, because
kswapd reclaim cannot be identified as cleanly as other reclaim entry
points, even though it is the main background reclaim path under memory
pressure.  There may be no need to trace shrink_all_memory() as it is
primarily used during hibernation.  So this patch adds the missing
tracepoint pair for balance_pgdat().

The begin tracepoint records the node id, requested reclaim order, and
the requested classzone bound (highest_zoneidx).  The end tracepoint
records the node id, the reclaim order that balance_pgdat() finished
with, the requested classzone bound, and nr_reclaimed.  Together, they
show the requested reclaim order and classzone bound, whether reclaim
fell back to a lower order, and how much reclaim work was done.

The end tracepoint also records highest_zoneidx even though it does not
change within a balance_pgdat() invocation.  This keeps the end event
self-contained, so users can analyze reclaim results directly from end
events without depending on begin/end correlation, which is less
convenient when tracing is filtered or records are dropped.  It also
makes it straightforward to relate nr_reclaimed and the final reclaim
order to the requested classzone bound.
