    perf probe: Use the last field name as the argument name

    Set the last field name to the argument name when the argument
    is refering a data-structure member.

    e.g.
    ./perf probe --add 'vfs_read file->f_mode'
    Add new event:
    probe:vfs_read (on vfs_read with f_mode=file->f_mode)

    This probe records file->f_mode, but the argument name becomes "f_mode".

    This enables perf-trace command to parse trace event format correctly.
