tracing: Define the is_signed_type() macro once

There are two definitions of the is_signed_type() macro: one in
<linux/overflow.h> and a second definition in <linux/trace_events.h>.

As suggested by Linus, move the definition of the is_signed_type() macro
into the <linux/compiler.h> header file.  Change the definition of the
is_signed_type() macro to make sure that it does not trigger any sparse
warnings with future versions of sparse for bitwise types.
