tracing/kprobes: Add bitfield type

Add bitfield type for tracing arguments on kprobe-tracer.  The syntax of
a bitfield type is:

 b<bit-size>@<bit-offset>/<container-size>

e.g.

Accessing 2 bits-width field with 4 bits-offset in 32 bits-width data at
4 bytes offseted from the address pointed by AX register:

 +4(%ax):b2@4/32

Since the width of container data depends on the arch, so I just added
the container-size at the end.
