[PATCH v8 13/23] tracing: Add hist trigger support for clearing a trace

[Tom Zanussi]

Allow users to append 'clear' to an existing trigger in order to have
the hash table cleared.

This expands the hist trigger syntax from this:
    # echo hist:keys=xxx:vals=yyy:sort=zzz.descending:pause/cont \
           [ if filter] > event/trigger

to this:

    # echo hist:keys=xxx:vals=yyy:sort=zzz.descending:pause/cont/clear \
          [ if filter] > event/trigger
