tracing: Create class struct for events

This patch creates a ftrace_event_class struct that event structs point to.
This class struct will be made to hold information to modify the
events. Currently the class struct only holds the events system name.

This patch slightly increases the size, but this change lays the ground work
of other changes to make the footprint of tracepoints smaller.

With 82 standard tracepoints, and 618 system call tracepoints
(two tracepoints per syscall: enter and exit):

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
4913961	1088356	 861512	6863829	 68bbd5	vmlinux.orig
4914025	1088868	 861512	6864405	 68be15	vmlinux.class

This patch also cleans up some stale comments in ftrace.h.

v2: Fixed missing semi-colon in macro.
