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.

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.
