[PATCH v3 15/17] tracing: Recover trace events from kexec handover

This patch implements all logic necessary to match a new trace event
that we add against preserved trace events from kho. If we find a match,
we give the new trace event the old event's identifier. That way, trace
read-outs are able to make sense of buffer contents again because the
parsing code for events looks at the same identifiers.

v1 -> v2:

  - make kho_get_fdt() const
  - Get events as array from a property, use fingerprint instead of
    names to identify events
  - Remove ifdefs
