tracing: Allow execnames to be passed as args for synthetic events

Allow common_pid.execname to be saved in a variable in one histogram to be
passed to another histogram that can pass it as a parameter to a synthetic
event.

 ># echo 'hist:keys=pid:__arg__1=common_timestamp.usecs:arg2=common_pid.execname' \
       > events/sched/sched_waking/trigger
 ># echo 'wakeup_lat s32 pid; u64 delta; char wake_comm[]' > synthetic_events
 ># echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:pid=next_pid,delta=common_timestamp.usecs-$__arg__1,exec=$arg2'\
':onmatch(sched.sched_waking).trace(wakeup_lat,$pid,$delta,$exec)' \
 > events/sched/sched_switch/trigger

The above is a wake up latency synthetic event setup that passes the execname
of the common_pid that woke the task to the scheduling of that task, which
triggers a synthetic event that passes the original execname as a
parameter to display it.
