[PATCH V3 11/15] rtla/trace: Save event histogram output to a file

[Daniel Bristot de Oliveira <bristot@kernel.org>]

The hist: trigger generates a histogram in the file sys/event/hist.
If the hist: trigger is used, automatically save the histogram output of
the event sys:event in the sys_event_hist.txt file.
