tracing: Handle synthetic event array field type checking correctly

Since synthetic event array types are derived from the field name,
there may be a semicolon at the end of the type which should be
stripped off.

If there are more characters following that, normal type string
checking will result in an invalid type.

Without this patch, you can end up with an invalid field type string
that gets displayed in both the synthetic event description and the
event format:

Before:

  # echo 'myevent char str[16]; int v' >> synthetic_events
  # cat synthetic_events
    myevent	char[16]; str; int v

  name: myevent
  ID: 1936
  format:
  	field:unsigned short common_type;	offset:0;	size:2;	signed:0;
  	field:unsigned char common_flags;	offset:2;	size:1;	signed:0;
  	field:unsigned char common_preempt_count;	offset:3;	size:1;	signed:0;
  	field:int common_pid;	offset:4;	size:4;	signed:1;

  	field:char str[16];;	offset:8;	size:16;	signed:1;
  	field:int v;	offset:40;	size:4;	signed:1;

  print fmt: "str=%s, v=%d", REC->str, REC->v

After:

  # echo 'myevent char str[16]; int v' >> synthetic_events
  # cat synthetic_events
    myevent	char[16] str; int v

  # cat events/synthetic/myevent/format
  name: myevent
  ID: 1936
  format:
	field:unsigned short common_type;	offset:0;	size:2;	signed:0;
	field:unsigned char common_flags;	offset:2;	size:1;	signed:0;
	field:unsigned char common_preempt_count;	offset:3;	size:1;	signed:0;
	field:int common_pid;	offset:4;	size:4;	signed:1;

	field:char str[16];	offset:8;	size:16;	signed:1;
	field:int v;	offset:40;	size:4;	signed:1;

  print fmt: "str=%s, v=%d", REC->str, REC->v
