ftrace: add module command function filter selection

This patch adds a "command" syntax to the function filtering files:

  /debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
  /debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_notrace

Of the format:  <function>:<command>:<parameter>

The command is optional, and dependent on the command, so are
the parameters.

 echo do_fork > set_ftrace_filter

Will only trace 'do_fork'.

 echo 'sched_*' > set_ftrace_filter

Will only trace functions starting with the letters 'sched_'.

 echo '*:mod:ext3' > set_ftrace_filter

Will trace only the ext3 module functions.

 echo '*write*:mod:ext3' > set_ftrace_notrace

Will prevent the ext3 functions with the letters 'write' in
the name from being traced.

 echo '!*_allocate:mod:ext3' > set_ftrace_filter

Will remove the functions in ext3 that end with the letters
'_allocate' from the ftrace filter.

Although this patch implements the 'command' format, only the
'mod' command is supported. More commands to follow.
