Subject: [RFC PATCH] ftrace trace event: introduce assignment macros

This patch proposes encapsulation of the raw assignments within TP_fast_assign()
by introducing tp_assign() and tp_memcpy() macros. This will allow us to:

- generically filter from input fields,
- redefine the field write primitives.

The current macros map directly to the old code. I changed the documentation in
tracepoint.txt to reflect these new primitives, but all TRACE_EVENT() users
should gradually update their code to use these macro wrappers rather than raw
"=" assignments or mempcy() calls.
