[PATCH 2/3] perf trace: Auto-assign kernel symbol beautifier to function pointer fields

[Aaron Tomlin <atomlin@atomlin.com>]

Tracepoint fields that convey kernel function pointers, such as 'function',
'fn', 'work', 'action', and 'callsite' are currently formatted as generic
hexadecimal pointers by default.

Enhance syscall_arg_fmt__init_array() to automatically detect these
fields by name and type signature (e.g., typedefs ending with '_func_t'
or '_fn', or C function pointer types containing '(*)') and assign
'SCA_KSYM' as their default beautifier.

Additionally, register common function pointer field names within the
sorted 'syscall_arg_fmts__by_name' lookup table. This ensures tracepoint
arguments such as 'workqueue:workqueue_execute_start.function' are
symbolised automatically without requiring explicit per-event
configuration. For example:

    ❯ sudo tools/perf/perf trace --event workqueue:workqueue_execute_end --max-events 2 --show-cpu
         0.000 [000] kworker/u32:15/236682 workqueue:workqueue_execute_end(work: 0xffffffffab2f1420, function: toggle_allocation_gate)
         0.132 [000] kworker/u32:15/236682 workqueue:workqueue_execute_end(work: 0xffff8ac2c1adc010, function: flush_to_ldisc)
