[Bug translator/5608] New: Translator shouldn't allow using marker probe arguments as pointers

["dsmith at redhat dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

Assume a kernel marker with an integer argument.  The translator shouldn't allow
a script like the following:

  probe kernel.mark("foo") { print($arg1->i_ino) }

The translator should not allow this since the translator has no idea that $arg1
is a pointer or what type it points to.  Currently the translator treats the
above script as:

  probe kernel.mark("foo") { print($arg1) }

Instead, the translator should print an error message.
