Masami Hiramatsu eca0d916f6 tracing/kprobes: Add argument name support
Add argument name assignment support and remove "alias" lines from format.
This allows user to assign unique name to each argument. For example,

$ echo p do_sys_open dfd=a0 filename=a1 flags=a2 mode=a3 > kprobe_events

This assigns dfd, filename, flags, and mode to 1st - 4th arguments
respectively. Trace buffer shows those names too.

	<...>-1439  [000] 1200885.933147: do_sys_open+0x0/0xdf: dfd=ffffff9c filename=bfa898ac flags=8000 mode=0

This helps users to know what each value means.

Users can filter each events by these names too. Note that you can not
filter by argN anymore.
