Subject: [PATCH 3/5] tracing/user_events: Add flag to auto-delete events

Currently user events need to be manually deleted via the delete IOCTL
call or via the dynamic_events file. Some operators and processes wish
to have these events auto cleanup when they are no longer used by
anything to prevent them piling without manual maintenance.

Add auto delete flag to user facing header and honor it within the
register IOCTL call. Add max flag as well to ensure that only known
flags can be used now and in the future. Update user_event_put() to
attempt an auto delete of the event if it's the last reference. The
auto delete must run in a work queue to ensure proper behavior of
class->reg() invocations that don't expect the call to go away from
underneath them during the unregister. Add work_struct to user_event
struct to ensure we can do this reliably.
