ftrace: add tracer called branch
Impact: added new branch tracer
Currently the tracing of branch profiling (unlikelys and likelys hit)
is only activated by the iter_ctrl. This patch adds a tracer called
"branch" that will just trace the branch profiling. The advantage
of adding this tracer is that it can be added to the ftrace selftests
on startup.
