tracing: Use dyn_event framework for synthetic events
Use dyn_event framework for synthetic events. This shows synthetic events on "tracing/dynamic_events" file in addition to tracing/synthetic_events interface. User can also define new events via tracing/dynamic_events with "s:" prefix. So, the new syntax is below; s:[synthetic/]EVENT_NAME TYPE ARG; [TYPE ARG;]... To remove events via tracing/dynamic_events, you can use "-:" prefix as same as other events.
