Nit: these commands now need a s/smp/csd/.

I played with those a little more and found out how to record the src CPU,
so feel free to update the changelog with this:

  $ echo 'hist:keys=cpu,csd.hex:ts=common_timestamp.usecs:src=common_cpu' >\
       /sys/kernel/tracing/events/csd/csd_queue_cpu/trigger
  $ echo 'csd_latency unsigned int src_cpu; '\
       'unsigned int dst_cpu; '\
       'unsigned long csd; u64 time' >\
       /sys/kernel/tracing/synthetic_events

  $ echo 'hist:keys=common_cpu,csd.hex:
  time=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts:
  onmatch(csd.csd_queue_cpu).trace(csd_latency,$src,common_cpu,csd,$time)' >\
       /sys/kernel/tracing/events/csd/csd_function_entry/trigger

  $ trace-cmd record -e 'synthetic:csd_latency' hackbench
  $ trace-cmd report
