tracing: Fix synthetic event to allow semicolon at end
Fix synthetic event to allow independent semicolon at end. The synthetic_events interface accepts a semicolon after the last word if there is no space. # echo "myevent u64 var;" >> synthetic_events But if there is a space, it returns an error. # echo "myevent u64 var ;" > synthetic_events sh: write error: Invalid argument This behavior is difficult for users to understand. Let's allow the last independent semicolon too.
