perf trace: Use event filters for the event qualifier list

We use raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit} events to show the syscalls, but were
using a rather lazy/inneficient way to implement our 'strace -e' equivalent:
filter out after reading the events in the ring buffer.

Deflect more work to the kernel by appending a filter expression for that,
that, together with the pid list, that is always present, if only to filter the
tracer itself, reduces pressure on the ring buffer and otherwise use
infrastructure already in place in the kernel to do early filtering.

If we use it with -v we can see the filter passed to the kernel,
for instance, for this contrieved case:

  # trace -v -e \!open,close,write,poll,recvfrom,select,recvmsg,writev,sendmsg,read,futex,epoll_wait,ioctl,eventfd --filter-pids 2189,2566,1398,2692,4475,4532
