tracing/probes: Support BTF based data structure field access

Using BTF to access the fields of a data structure. You can use this
for accessing the field with '->' or '.' operation with BTF argument.

 # echo 't sched_switch next=next->pid vruntime=next->se.vruntime' \
   > dynamic_events
 # echo 1 > events/tracepoints/sched_switch/enable
 # head -n 40 trace | tail
