I think we can do the same thing here as we did test_filters.

I don't think we really need to put this into the tep interface. Let's
see if we can move this into trace-cmd itself and have it just keep
track of when parsing failed.

I mean, trace-cmd is just using the tep structure as place to store
this variable.
