Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Do not let histogram values have some modifiers

Histogram values can not be strings, stacktraces, graphs, symbols,
syscalls, or grouped in buckets or log. Give an error if a value is set to
do so.

Note, the histogram code was not prepared to handle these modifiers for
histograms and caused a bug.

Mark Rutland reported:

 # echo 'hist:keys=n:vals=hitcount.buckets=8:sort=hitcount' > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/kprobes/copy_to_user/trigger
