tracing: Add common_comm to histograms

If one wants to trace the name of the task that wakes up a process and
pass that to the synthetic events, there's nothing currently that lets the
synthetic events do that. Add a "common_comm" to the histogram logic that
allows histograms save the current->comm as a variable that can be passed
through and added to a synthetic event:

 # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
 # echo 's:wake_lat char[] waker; char[] wakee; u64 delta;' >> dynamic_events
 # echo 'hist:keys=pid:comm=common_comm:ts=common_timestamp.usecs if !(common_flags & 0x18)' > events/sched/sched_waking/trigger
 # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:wake_comm=$comm:delta=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts:onmatch(sched.sched_waking).trace(wake_lat,$wake_comm,next_comm,$delta)' > events/sched/sched_switch/trigger

The above will create a synthetic trace event that will save both the name
of the waker and the wakee but only if the wakeup did not happen in a hard
or soft interrupt context.

The "common_comm" is used to save the task->comm at the time of the
initial event and is passed via the "comm" variable to the second event,
and that is saved as the "waker" field in the "wake_lat" synthetic event.
