The dyntick-idle traces are a bit confusing. This patch makes it simpler
and adds some missing cases such as EQS-enter due to user vs idle mode.

Following are the changes:
(1) Add a new context field to trace_rcu_dyntick tracepoint. This
    context field can be "USER", "IDLE" or "IRQ".

(2) Remove the "++=" and "--=" strings and replace them with
   "StillNonIdle". This is much easier on the eyes, and the -- and ++
   are easily apparent in the dynticks_nesting counters we are printing
   anyway.
