Using initcall_t in the __field macro generates the following warning
with clang version 6.0:
include/trace/events/initcall.h:34:3: warning: ordered comparison of
function pointers ('initcall_t' (aka 'int (*)(void)') and 'initcall_t')
__field macro expands to __field_ext macro which does is_signed_type
check on the type argument. Since initcall_t is defined as a function
pointer, using it as the type in the __field macro, leads to an ordered
comparison of function pointer warning, inside the check. Using
__field_struct macro avoids the issue.

Being able to trace the start and stop of initcalls is useful to see where
the timings are an issue. There is already an "initcall_debug" parameter,
but that can cause a large overhead itself, as the printing of the
information may take longer than the initcall functions.
Adding in a start and finish trace event around the initcall functions, as
well as a trace event that records the level of the initcalls, one can get a
much finer measurement of the times and interactions of the initcalls
themselves, as trace events are much lighter than printk()s.
