tracing: Add 'onmatch' hist trigger action support

Add an 'onmatch(matching.event).<synthetic_event_name>(param list)'
hist trigger action which is invoked with the set of variables or
event fields named in the 'param list'.  The result is the generation
of a synthetic event that consists of the values contained in those
variables and/or fields at the time the invoking event was hit.

As an example the below defines a simple synthetic event using a
variable defined on the sched_wakeup_new event, and shows the event
definition with unresolved fields, since the sched_wakeup_new event
with the testpid variable hasn't been defined yet:

    # echo 'wakeup_new_test pid_t pid; int prio' >> \
      /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events

    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events
      wakeup_new_test pid_t pid; int prio

The following hist trigger both defines a testpid variable and
specifies an onmatch() trace action that uses that variable along with
a non-variable field to generate a wakeup_new_test synthetic event
whenever a sched_wakeup_new event occurs, which because of the 'if
comm == "cyclictest"' filter only happens when the executable is
cyclictest:

    # echo 'hist:testpid=pid:keys=$testpid:\
      onmatch(sched.sched_wakeup_new).wakeup_new_test($testpid, prio) \
        if comm=="cyclictest"' >> \
      /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup_new/trigger

Creating and displaying a histogram based on those events is now just
a matter of using the fields and new synthetic event in the
tracing/events/synthetic directory, as usual:

    # echo 'hist:keys=pid,prio:sort=pid,prio' >> \
      /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/synthetic/wakeup_new_test/trigger
