Steven Rostedt (VMware) 1d18538e6a tracing: Have dynamic events have a ref counter
As dynamic events are not created by modules, if something is attached to
one, calling "try_module_get()" on its "mod" field, is not going to keep
the dynamic event from going away.

Since dynamic events do not need the "mod" pointer of the event structure,
make a union out of it in order to save memory (there's one structure for
each of the thousand+ events in the kernel), and have any event with the
DYNAMIC flag set to use a ref counter instead.
