Subject: [for-next][PATCH 07/12] tracing: Check that the synthetic event and field names are legal

From: Tom Zanussi <zanussi@...nel.org>

Call the is_good_name() function used by probe events to make sure
synthetic event and field names don't contain illegal characters and
cause unexpected parsing of synthetic event commands.
