Subject: [PATCH RESEND] tracing/user_events: Prevent same name event per process
User processes register name_args for events. If the same name are registered
multiple times in the same process, it can cause undefined behavior. Because
the same name may be used for a diffrent event. If this event has the same
format as the original event, it is impossible to distinguish the trace output
of these two events. If the event has a different format from the original event,
the trace output of the new event is incorrect.
Return EADDRINUSE back to the user process if the same event has being registered
in the same process.
