net/ipv4: add tracepoint for icmp_send

Browse source 
Introduce a tracepoint for icmp_send, which can help users to get more
detail information conveniently when icmp abnormal events happen.

1. Giving an usecase example:
=============================
When an application experiences packet loss due to an unreachable UDP
destination port, the kernel will send an exception message through the
icmp_send function. By adding a trace point for icmp_send, developers or
system administrators can obtain detailed information about the UDP
packet loss, including the type, code, source address, destination address,
source port, and destination port. This facilitates the trouble-shooting
of UDP packet loss issues especially for those network-service
applications.

2. Operation Instructions:
==========================
Switch to the tracing directory.
        cd /sys/kernel/tracing
Filter for destination port unreachable.
        echo "type==3 && code==3" > events/icmp/icmp_send/filter
Enable trace event.
        echo 1 > events/icmp/icmp_send/enable

3. Result View:
================
 udp_client_erro-11370   [002] ...s.12   124.728002:
 icmp_send: icmp_send: type=3, code=3.
