I believe the comparison of the string 'type' with the literal string
"s64" is currently incorrect, it is missing a == 0 comparison as per
the other comparisons.

Detected by cppcheck:
tools/lib/traceevent/event-parse.c:2209: (warning) The comparison
operator in 'strcmp(type,"s64") != 0' should maybe be '==' instead,
currently the expression 'strcmp(type,"u64") == 0' is redundant.

Fixes: f7d82350e597 ("tools/events: Add files to create libtraceevent.a")

Arnaldo,

Can you take this in your tree. And mark it for stable. Thanks!
