tracing: Remove pointer (asterisk) and brackets from cpumask_t field
To differentiate between long arrays and cpumasks, the __cpumask() field
was created. Part of the TRACE_EVENT() macros test if the type is signed
or not by using the is_signed_type() macro. The __cpumask() field used the
__dynamic_array() helper but because cpumask_t is a structure, it could
not be used in the is_signed_type() macro as that would fail to build, so
instead it passed in the pointer to cpumask_t.
Unfortunately, that creates in the format file:
field:__data_loc cpumask_t *[] mask; offset:36; size:4; signed:0;
Which looks like an array of pointers to cpumask_t and not a cpumask_t
type, which is misleading to user space parsers.
Douglas Raillard pointed out that the "[]" are also misleading, as
cpumask_t is not an array.
Since cpumask() hasn't been created yet, and the parsers currently fail on
it (but will still produce the raw output), make it be:
field:__data_loc cpumask_t mask; offset:36; size:4; signed:0;
Which is the correct type of the field.
Then the parsers can be updated to handle this.
