[ltt-dev] [PATCH] Fix tracepoints for network socket

Hi,

Currently, the tracepoints for network socket could not trace all the
network activity due to its location, sock_{send/recv}msg, because there
is the path without through sock_{send/recv}msg (like below).

Kernel path for sendmsg:
   sys_write      sys_{send/sendto/sendmsg}
      |                     |
   sock_aio_write   sock_sendmsg
        \                  /
         \                /
           __sock_sendmsg

So I think __sock_{send/recv}msg is better tracepoints to track
network socket activity.

And I'd like to request to get the return value on those tracepoints
to track the real size of sending/recieving by user and the error status
of __sock_{send/recv}msg.

The below patch is for lttng tree to change those tracepoints.
