tracing/user_events: Fix non-spaced field matching

[ Upstream commit bd125a084091396f3e796bb3dc009940d9771811 ]

When the ABI was updated to prevent same name w/different args, it
missed an important corner case when fields don't end with a space.
Typically, space is used for fields to help separate them, like
"u8 field1; u8 field2". If no spaces are used, like
"u8 field1;u8 field2", then the parsing works for the first time.
However, the match check fails on a subsequent register, leading to
confusion.

This is because the match check uses argv_split() and assumes that all
fields will be split upon the space. When spaces are used, we get back
{ "u8", "field1;" }, without spaces we get back { "u8", "field1;u8" }.
This causes a mismatch, and the user program gets back -EADDRINUSE.

Add a method to detect this case before calling argv_split(). If found
force a space after the field separator character ';'. This ensures all
cases work properly for matching.

With this fix, the following are all treated as matching:
u8 field1;u8 field2
u8 field1; u8 field2
u8 field1;\tu8 field2
u8 field1;\nu8 field2
