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.
