[PATCH v5 28/37] tracing: Allow whitespace to surround hist trigger filter

From: Tom Zanussi
Date: Thu Nov 09 2017 - 15:38:19 EST


The existing code only allows for one space before and after the 'if'
specifying the filter for a hist trigger. Add code to make that more
permissive as far as whitespace goes. Specifically, we want to allow
spaces in the trigger itself now that we have additional syntax
(onmatch/onmax) where spaces are more natural e.g. spaces after commas
in param lists.
