debugobjects: Add hint for better object identification
In complex subsystems like mac80211 structures can contain several
timers and work structs, so identifying a specific instance from the
call trace and object type output of debugobjects can be hard.
Allow the subsystems which support debugobjects to provide a hint
function. This function returns a pointer to a kernel address
(preferrably the objects callback function) which is printed along
with the debugobjects type.
Add hint methods for timer_list, work_struct and hrtimer.
