This patchset adds filtering support for syscall events

For syscall enter events, we can do filtering on syscall
parameters, and for exit events, filter on syscall return
value.

For example, we set 'mode == 0666' (0666 == 0x1b6) to
sys_enter_open, and set 'ret == 0' to sys_exit_open,
and here's the output:

 # echo 'mode == 0666' > events/syscalls/sys_enter_open
 # echo 'ret == 0' > events/syscalls/sys_exit_open
 # echo 1 > events/syscalls/sys_enter_open
 # echo 1 > events/syscalls/sys_exit_open
 # cat trace
 ...

   modprobe-3084 [001] 117.463176: sys_open -> 0x0
