Commit 9f61668073a8d "tracing: Allow triggers to filter for CPU ids and
process names" added a 'comm' filter that will filter events based on the
current tasks struct 'comm'. But this now hides the ability to filter events
that have a 'comm' field too. For example, sched_migrate_task trace event.
That has a 'comm' field of the task to be migrated.

 echo 'comm == "bash"' > events/sched_migrate_task/filter

will now filter all sched_migrate_task events for tasks named "bash" that
migrates other tasks (in interrupt context), instead of seeing when "bash"
itself gets migrated.

This fix requires a couple of changes.

1) Change the look up order for filter predicates to look at the events
   fields before looking at the generic filters.

2) Instead of basing the filter function off of the "comm" name, have the
   generic "comm" filter have its own filter_type (FILTER_COMM). Test
   against the type instead of the name to assign the filter function.

3) Add a new "COMM" filter that works just like "comm" but will filter based
   on the current task, even if the trace event contains a "comm" field.

Do the same for "cpu" field, adding a FILTER_CPU and a filter "CPU".
