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]
