perf trace: Associate the "msr" tracepoint arg name with x86_MSR__scnprintf()

So that we can go from:

  # perf trace -e msr:write_msr --max-stack=16 sleep 1
       0.000 sleep/6740 msr:write_msr(msr: 3221225728, val: 139636317451648)
                                         do_trace_write_msr ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                         do_trace_write_msr ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                         do_arch_prctl_64 ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                         __x64_sys_arch_prctl ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                         do_syscall_64 ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                         entry_SYSCALL_64 ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                         init_tls (/usr/lib64/ld-2.29.so)
                                         dl_main (/usr/lib64/ld-2.29.so)
                                         _dl_sysdep_start (/usr/lib64/ld-2.29.so)
                                         _dl_start (/usr/lib64/ld-2.29.so)
  #

To:

  # perf trace -e msr:write_msr --max-stack=16 sleep 1
     0.000 sleep/8519 msr:write_msr(msr: FS_BASE, val: 139878031705472)
                                       do_trace_write_msr ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                       do_trace_write_msr ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                       do_arch_prctl_64 ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                       __x64_sys_arch_prctl ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                       do_syscall_64 ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                       entry_SYSCALL_64 ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                       init_tls (/usr/lib64/ld-2.29.so)
                                       dl_main (/usr/lib64/ld-2.29.so)
                                       _dl_sysdep_start (/usr/lib64/ld-2.29.so)
                                       _dl_start (/usr/lib64/ld-2.29.so)
  #

This, in reverse, will allow for symbolic system call/tracepoint
filtering.
