[RFC PATCH 2/5] tracing: Add "last_func_repeats" to struct trace_array

["Yordan Karadzhov (VMware)" <y.karadz@gmail.com>]

The field is used to keep track of the consecutive (on the same CPU) calls
of a single function. This information is needed in order to consolidate
the function tracing record in the cases when a single function is called
number of times.
