tracing: Add missing helper functions in event pointer dereference check

commit 917110481f6bc1c96b1e54b62bb114137fbc6d17 upstream.

The process_pointer() helper function looks to see if various trace event
macros are used. These macros are for storing data in the event. This
makes it safe to dereference as the dereference will then point into the
event on the ring buffer where the content of the data stays with the
event itself.

A few helper functions were missing. Those were:

  __get_rel_dynamic_array()
  __get_dynamic_array_len()
  __get_rel_dynamic_array_len()
  __get_rel_sockaddr()

Also add a helper function find_print_string() to not need to use a middle
man variable to test if the string exists.
