tracing: Add binary '&' filter for events
There are some cases when filtering on a set flag of a field of a tracepoint
is useful. But currently the only filtering commands for numbered fields
is ==, !=, <, <=, >, >=. This does not help when you just want to trace if
a specific flag is set. For example:
> # sudo trace-cmd record -e brcmfmac:brcmf_dbg -f 'level & 0x40000'
> disable all
> enable brcmfmac:brcmf_dbg
> path = /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/brcmfmac/brcmf_dbg/enable
> (level & 0x40000)
> ^
> parse_error: Invalid operator
>
When trying to trace brcmf_dbg when level has its 1 << 18 bit set, the
filter fails to perform.
By allowing a binary '&' operation, this gives the user the ability to
test a bit.
Note, a binary '|' is not added, as it doesn't make sense as fields must
be compared to constants (for now), and ORing a constant will always return
true.

The operators available for numeric fields are:
-==, !=, <, <=, >, >=
+==, !=, <, <=, >, >=, &
