Subject: [PATCH] tracing/events: make struct trace_entry->type to be int type

struct trace_entry->type is unsigned char, while trace event's id is
int type, thus for a event with id >= 256, it's entry->type is cast
to (id % 256), and then we can't see the trace output of this event.

 # insmod trace-events-sample.ko
 # echo foo_bar > /mnt/tracing/set_event
 # cat /debug/tracing/events/trace-events-sample/foo_bar/id
 256
 # cat /mnt/tracing/trace_pipe
           <...>-3548  [001]   215.091142: Unknown type 0
           <...>-3548  [001]   216.089207: Unknown type 0
           <...>-3548  [001]   217.087271: Unknown type 0
           <...>-3548  [001]   218.085332: Unknown type 0

[ Impact: fix output for trace events with id >= 256 ]
