- References: <20091216222354.14459.82110.stgit@dhcp-100-2-132.bos.redhat.com>
Check new event name is same syntax as c symbol in perf command.
In other words, checking the name is as like as other tracepoint
events.
This can prevent user to create an event with useless name (e.g.
foo|bar, foo*bar).
