[PATCH v7 13/15] libtracefs: Introduce eprobe API

["Tzvetomir Stoyanov (VMware)" <tz.stoyanov@gmail.com>]

Recently a new type of dynamic trace events was added in the Linux
kernel - event probes. Tracefs library should have APIs to work with
that event. As this is a dynamic event, all tracefs_dynevent_* APIs can
be used to control event probes. Only one new API is proposed:
 tracefs_eprobe_alloc()
