[for-next][PATCH 4/5] tracing: Let filter_assign_type() detect FILTER_PTR_STRING

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@xxxxxxxxx>

filter_assign_type() could detect dynamic string and static
string, but not string pointers. Teach filter_assign_type()
to detect string pointers, and this will be needed by trace
event injection code.

BTW, trace event hist uses FILTER_PTR_STRING too.
