tracing: Add support for named hist triggers

Allow users to define 'named' hist triggers.  All triggers created
with the same 'name=xxx' option will update the same shared histogram
data.

This expands the hist trigger syntax from this:

    # echo hist:keys=xxx ... [ if filter] > event/trigger

to this:

    # echo hist:name=xxx:keys=xxx ... [ if filter] > event/trigger

Named histograms must use a 'compatible' set of keys and values, which
means each event added to a set of named triggers must have the same
names and types.

Reading the 'hist' file of any of the participating events will
produce the same output as any other participating event, which is to
be expected since they share the same data.

+  Named triggers can be used to have triggers share a common set of
+  histogram data.  This capability is mostly useful for combining the
+  output of events generated by tracepoints contained inside inline
+  functions, but names can be used in a hist trigger on any event.
+  For example, these two triggers when hit will update the same 'len'
+  field in the shared 'foo' histogram data:
+
+    # echo 'hist:name=foo:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len' > \
+           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger

+           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_rx/trigger
