tracing/perf: Reimplement TP_perf_assign() logic

The next patch tries to avoid the costly perf_trace_buf_* calls
when possible but there is a problem. We can only do this if
__task == NULL, perf_tp_event(task != NULL) has the additional
code for this case.

Unfortunately, TP_perf_assign/__perf_xxx which changes the default
values of __count/__task variables for perf_trace_buf_submit() is
called "too late", after we already did perf_trace_buf_prepare(),
and the optimization above can't work.

So this patch simply embeds __perf_xxx() into TP_ARGS(), this way
DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() can use the result of assignments hidden in
"args" right after ftrace_get_offsets_##call() which is mostly
trivial. This allows us to have the fast-path "__task != NULL"
check at the start, see the next patch.
