tracing: Move event storage for array from macro to standalone function
The code that shows array fields for events is defined for all events. This can add up quite a bit when you have over 500 events. By making helper functions in the core kernel to do the work instead, we can shrink the size of the kernel down a bit. With a kernel configured with 502 events, the change in size was: text data bss dec hex filename 12990946 1913568 9785344 24689858 178bcc2 /tmp/vmlinux 12987390 1913504 9785344 24686238 178ae9e /tmp/vmlinux.patched That's a total of 3556 bytes, which comes down to 7 bytes per event. Although it's not much, this code is just called at initialization of the events.
