tracing/kprobes: Support basic types on dynamic events

Browse source 
Support basic types of integer (u8, u16, u32, u64, s8, s16, s32, s64) in
kprobe tracer. With this patch, users can specify above basic types on
each arguments after ':'. If omitted, the argument type is set as
unsigned long (u32 or u64, arch-dependent).

 e.g.
  echo 'p account_system_time+0 hardirq_offset=%si:s32' > kprobe_events

  adds a probe recording hardirq_offset in signed-32bits value on the
  entry of account_system_time.
