please don't duplicate the tracepoint name in the output string.
Also don't use braces, as it jsut complicates parsing.

Instead of doing a manual array lookup please use __print_symbolic so
that users of the binary interface (like trace-cmd) also get the
right output.

Maybe we should create a new fs/trace.c just for this instead of stickin
it into the first file that created a tracepoint in the "vfs" namespace.
