Tracing fixes for 5.14-rc2:

- Fix deadloop in ring buffer because of using stale "read" variable
 
 - Fix synthetic event use of field_pos as boolean and not an index
 
 - Fixed histogram special var "cpu" overriding event fields called "cpu"
 
 - Cleaned up error prone logic in alloc_synth_event()
 
 - Removed call to synchronize_rcu_tasks_rude() when not needed
 
 - Removed redundant initialization of a local variable "ret"
 
 - Fixed kernel crash when updating tracepoint callbacks of different
   priorities.
