[PATCHv2] tools lib traceevent: Handle dynamic array's element size properly

[Jiri Olsa]

Fixing the dynamic array format field parsing.

Currently the event_read_fields function could segfault while parsing
dynamic array other than string type. The reason is the event->pevent
does not need to be set and gets dereferenced unconditionaly.

Also adding proper initialization of field->elementsize based on the
parsed dynamic type.
