tracing: Add usecs modifier for hist trigger timestamps
Appending .usecs onto a common_timestamp field will cause the timestamp value to be in microseconds instead of the default nanoseconds. A typical latency histogram using usecs would look like this: # echo 'hist:keys=pid,prio:ts0=common_timestamp.usecs ... # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:wakeup_lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0 ... This also adds an external trace_clock_in_ns() to trace.c for the timestamp conversion.
