tracing/kprobes: Support custom subsystem for each kprobe event
Support specifying a custom subsystem(group) for each kprobe event.
This allows users to create new group to control several probes
at once, or add events to existing groups as additional tracepoints.
New synopsis:
p[:[subsys/]event-name] KADDR|KSYM[+offs] [ARGS]

Synopsis of kprobe_events
-------------------------
- p[:EVENT] SYMBOL[+offs]|MEMADDR [FETCHARGS] : Set a probe
- r[:EVENT] SYMBOL[+0] [FETCHARGS] : Set a return probe
+ p[:[GRP/]EVENT] SYMBOL[+offs]|MEMADDR [FETCHARGS] : Set a probe
+ r[:[GRP/]EVENT] SYMBOL[+0] [FETCHARGS] : Set a return probe
+ GRP : Group name. If omitted, use "kprobes" for it.
EVENT : Event name. If omitted, the event name is generated
based on SYMBOL+offs or MEMADDR.
SYMBOL[+offs] : Symbol+offset where the probe is inserted.
