[lttng-dev] [lttng-ust PATCH v3 1/1] Add -ust to the name of UST threads of the application

[Raphaël Beamonte]

Add the required functions to change the thread name of the UST
threads and add the -ust string at its end. This will help to
identify LTTng-UST processes when analyzing the trace of a process.
