tracing: Add a way to filter function addresses to function names

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <[e-mail]>

There's been several times where an event records a function address in
its field and I needed to filter on that address for a specific function
name. It required looking up the function in kallsyms, finding its size,
and doing a compare of "field >= function_start && field < function_end".

But this would change from boot to boot and is unreliable in scripts.
Also, it is useful to have this at boot up, where the addresses will not
be known. For example, on the boot command line:

  trace_trigger="initcall_finish.traceoff if initcall_finish.function ==
  acpi_init"

To implement this, add a ".function" prefix, that will check that the
field is of size long, and the only operations allowed (so far) are "=="
and "!=".
