rseq: Expose lightweight statistics in debugfs
Analyzing the call frequency without actually using tracing is helpful for
analysis of this infrastructure. The overhead is minimal as it just
increments a per CPU counter associated to each operation.
The debugfs readout provides a racy sum of all counters.
