While troubleshooting a performance problem internally, it became
evident that we needed tracepoints in nfsd_commit. The first patch adds
that. While discussing that, Sargun pointed out some tracepoints he
added using kprobes. Those are converted to static tracepoints here.

Lastly, this adds a new counter to the pool_stats for counting the number
of times that the kernel tried to wake a svc thread, but there were none
available. I think this may be useful info for determining whether we're
bumping up against the size of the thread pool.
