libbpf: Parse usdt args without offset on x86 (e.g. 8@(%rsp))
Parse USDT arguments like "8@(%rsp)" on x86. These are emmited by SystemTap. The argument syntax is similar to the existing "memory dereference case" but the offset left out as it's zero (i.e. read the value from the address in the register). We treat it the same as the the "memory dereference case", but set the offset to 0. I've tested that this fixes the "unrecognized arg #N spec: 8@(%rsp).." error I've run into when attaching to a probe with such an argument. Attaching and reading the correct argument values works. Something similar might be needed for the other supported architectures.
