perf/x86/pt, coresight: Clean up address filter structure
This is a cosmetic patch that deals with the address filter structure's ambiguous fields 'filter' and 'range'. The former stands to mean that the filter's *action* should be to filter the traces to its address range if it's set or stop tracing if it's unset. This is confusing and hard on the eyes, so this patch replaces it with 'action' enum. The 'range' field is completely redundant (meaning that the filter is an address range as opposed to a single address trigger), as we can use zero size to mean the same thing.
