tracing: add __print_symbolic to trace events

This patch adds __print_symbolic which is similar to __print_flags but
works for an enumeration type instead. That is, there is only a one to one
mapping between the values and the symbols. When a match is made, then
it is printed, otherwise the hex value is outputed.

[ Impact: add interface for showing symbol names in events ]
