[RFC PATCH] trace: Introduce a new filter_pred "caller"

[RFC PATCH] trace: Introduce a new filter_pred "caller"

[Chen Jun]

Low-level functions have many call paths, and sometimes
we only care about the calls on a specific call path.
Add a new filter to filter based on the call stack.

Usage:
1. echo 'caller=="$function_name"' > events/../filter

Only support OP_EQ and OP_NE
