tracing: filter fix for TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT events

Impact: fix crash (hang) when using TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT filter files

filters are only hooked up to the tracepoint events defined using
TRACE_EVENT but not the tracers that use TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT, such
as ftrace.

Do not display the filter files at all for TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT events
for the time being.
