perf trace: Deref sys_enter pointer args with contents from probe:vfs_getname

To work like strace and dereference syscall pointer args we need to
insert probes (or tracepoints) right after we copy those bytes from
userspace.

Since we're formatting the syscall args at raw_syscalls:sys_enter time,
we need to have a formatter that just stores the position where, later,
when we get the probe:vfs_getname, we can insert the pointer contents.

Now, if a probe:vfs_getname with this format is in place:

 # perf probe -l
  probe:vfs_getname (on getname_flags:72@/home/git/linux/fs/namei.c with pathname)

That was, in this case, put in place with:

 # perf probe 'vfs_getname=getname_flags:72 pathname=filename:string'
 Added new event:
  probe:vfs_getname    (on getname_flags:72 with pathname=filename:string)

 You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	perf record -e probe:vfs_getname -aR sleep 1
 #

Then 'perf trace' will notice that and do the pointer -> contents
expansion:

 # trace -e open touch /tmp/bla
  0.165 (0.010 ms): touch/17752 open(filename: /etc/ld.so.cache, flags: CLOEXEC) = 3
  0.195 (0.011 ms): touch/17752 open(filename: /lib64/libc.so.6, flags: CLOEXEC) = 3
  0.512 (0.012 ms): touch/17752 open(filename: /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive, flags: CLOEXEC) = 3
  0.582 (0.012 ms): touch/17752 open(filename: /tmp/bla, flags: CREAT|NOCTTY|NONBLOCK|WRONLY, mode: 438) = 3
 #

Roughly equivalent to strace's output:

 # strace -rT -e open touch /tmp/bla
  0.000000 open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3 <0.000039>
  0.000317 open("/lib64/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3 <0.000102>
  0.001461 open("/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3 <0.000072>
  0.000405 open("/tmp/bla", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_NOCTTY|O_NONBLOCK, 0666) = 3 <0.000055>
  0.000641 +++ exited with 0 +++
 #

Now we need to either look for at all syscalls that are marked as
pointers and have some well known names ("filename", "pathname", etc)
and set the arg formatter to the one used for the "open" syscall in this
patch.

This implementation works for syscalls with just a string being copied
from userspace, for matching syscalls with more than one string being
copied via the same probe/trace point (vfs_getname) we need to extend
the vfs_getname probe spec to include the pointer too, but there are
some problems with that in 'perf probe' or the kernel kprobes code, need
to investigate before considering supporting multiple strings per
syscall.
