Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Increase stack skip on event trigger

When 'stacktrace' trigger is used for event tracing, it should skip 4
functions instead of 3.  Otherwise it'll contain ftrace_raw_event_XXX
like below:

  # echo stacktrace > events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
  # tail trace
   => rcu_gp_kthread
   => kthread
   => ret_from_fork
       ksoftirqd/0-3     [000] d..3    53.343993: <stack trace>
   => ftrace_raw_event_sched_switch
   => __schedule
   => schedule
   => smpboot_thread_fn
   => kthread
   => ret_from_fork
