[PATCH -tip 4/5] tracing/kprobes: Set a name for each argument automatically

Set "argN" name for each argument automatically if it has
no specified name. Since dynamic trace event(kprobe_events)
accepts special characters for its argument, its format
can show those special characters (e.g. '$', '%', '+').
However, perf can't parse those format because of the
character (especially '%') mess up the format.
This sets "argX" name for those arguments if user omitted
the argument names.

E.g.
 # echo 'p do_fork %ax IP=%ip $stack' > tracing/kprobe_events
 # cat tracing/kprobe_events
 p:kprobes/p_do_fork_0 do_fork arg1=%ax IP=%ip arg3=$stack
