ftrace: Add print_function_args()

Add a function to decode argument types with the help of BTF. Will
be used to display arguments in the function and function graph
tracer.

It can only handle simply arguments and up to FTRACE_REGS_MAX_ARGS number
of arguments. When it hits a max, it will print ", ...":

   page_to_skb(vi=0xffff8d53842dc980, rq=0xffff8d53843a0800, page=0xfffffc2e04337c00, offset=6160, len=64, truesize=1536, ...)

And if it hits an argument that is not recognized, it will print the raw
value and the type of argument it is:

   make_vfsuid(idmap=0xffffffff87f99db8, fs_userns=0xffffffff87e543c0, kuid=0x0 (STRUCT))
   __pti_set_user_pgtbl(pgdp=0xffff8d5384ab47f8, pgd=0x110e74067 (STRUCT))
