ftrace: add module globbing

Browse source 
Extend module command for function filter selection with globbing.
It uses the same globbing as function filter.

  sh# echo '*alloc*:mod:*' > set_ftrace_filter

Will trace any function with the letters 'alloc' in the name in any
module but not in kernel.

  sh# echo '!*alloc*:mod:ipv6' >> set_ftrace_filter

Will prevent from tracing functions with 'alloc' in the name from module
ipv6 (do not forget to append to set_ftrace_filter file).

  sh# echo '*alloc*:mod:!ipv6' > set_ftrace_filter

Will trace functions with 'alloc' in the name from kernel and any
module except ipv6.

  sh# echo '*alloc*:mod:!*' > set_ftrace_filter

Will trace any function with the letters 'alloc' in the name only from
kernel, but not from any module.

  sh# echo '*:mod:!*' > set_ftrace_filter
or
  sh# echo ':mod:!' > set_ftrace_filter

Will trace every function in the kernel, but will not trace functions
from any module.

  sh# echo '*:mod:*' > set_ftrace_filter
or
  sh# echo ':mod:' > set_ftrace_filter

As the opposite will trace all functions from all modules, but not from
kernel.

  sh# echo '*:mod:*snd*' > set_ftrace_filter

Will trace your sound drivers only (if any).
