tracing: Add generic event-name based remove event method

Add a generic method to remove event from dynamic event
list. This is same as other system under ftrace. You
just need to pass the event name with '!', e.g.

  # echo p:new_grp/new_event _do_fork > dynamic_events

This creates an event, and

  # echo '!p:new_grp/new_event _do_fork' > dynamic_events

Or,

  # echo '!p:new_grp/new_event' > dynamic_events

will remove new_grp/new_event event.

Note that this doesn't check the event prefix (e.g. "p:")
strictly, because the "group/event" name must be unique.
