tracing: Add TRACE_EVENT_FN example

If a function should be called before a tracepoint is enabled
and/or after it is disabled, the TRACE_EVENT_FN() serves this
purpose. But it is not well documented. Having it as a sample would
help developers to know how to use it.

+ * The reg function gets called before the tracepoint is enabled, and

+ * call a function before enabling, or after disabling, just set one
+ * function and pass in NULL for the other parameter.
