tracing: Fix synthetic event to accept unsigned modifier
Fix synthetic event to accept unsigned modifier for its field type
correctly.
Currently, synthetic_events interface returns error for "unsigned"
modifiers as below;
# echo "myevent unsigned long var" >> synthetic_events
sh: write error: Invalid argument
This is because argv_split() breaks "unsigned long" into "unsigned"
and "long", but parse_synth_field() doesn't expected it.
With this fix, synthetic_events can handle the "unsigned long"
correctly like as below;
# echo "myevent unsigned long var" >> synthetic_events
# cat synthetic_events
myevent unsigned long var
