perf tools: Make trace event format parser aware of cast to pointers
The ftrace event format parser handles the usual casts but not the cast to pointers. Such casts have been introduced recently with the module trace events and raise the following parsing error: Fatal: bad op token ) This is because it considers the "*" character as a binary operator. Make it then aware of casts to pointers.
