a tasks "comm" field. But this prevented filtering on a comm field that
is within a trace event (like sched_migrate_task).
When trying to filter on when a program migrated, this change prevented
the filtering of the sched_migrate_task.
To fix this, the event fields are examined first, and then the extra fields
like "comm" and "cpu" are examined. Also, instead of testing to assign
the comm filter function based on the field's name, the generic comm field
is given a new filter type (FILTER_COMM). When this field is used to filter
the type is checked. The same is done for the cpu filter field.
Two new special filter types are added: "COMM" and "CPU". This allows users
to still filter the tasks comm for events that have "comm" as one of their
fields, in cases that users would like to filter sched_migrate_task on the
comm of the task that called the event, and not the comm of the task that
is being migrated.

Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
"A feature was added in 4.3 that allowed users to filter trace points
on a tasks "comm" field. But this prevented filtering on a comm field
that is within a trace event (like sched_migrate_task).

prevented the filtering of the sched_migrate_task.
