[Crash-utility] [PATCH 0/2] extensions/trace: Sync up with v5.8 struct renaming

Hi,

Trying to use the trace extension on a mainline kernel doesn't work, and it
stems from some struct renaming that has happened upstream.

These two patches update the internal naming to match the upstream one, and
includes some backwards-compatibility checks to figure out which naming version
to use depending on what symbols are available.

This was briefly tested on on both v5.4 and 5.9-rc1 kernels using QEMU's
dump-guest-memory. The kernel starts tracing some sched & initicall stuff from
boot, and "trace show" behaves just fine on both of these. 

Cheers,
Valentin
