bpf: fix bpf_trace_printk on 32 bit archs

James reported that on MIPS32 bpf_trace_printk() is currently
broken while MIPS64 works fine:

  bpf_trace_printk() uses conditional operators to attempt to
  pass different types to __trace_printk() depending on the
  format operators. This doesn't work as intended on 32-bit
  architectures where u32 and long are passed differently to
  u64, since the result of C conditional operators follows the
  "usual arithmetic conversions" rules, such that the values
  passed to __trace_printk() will always be u64 [causing issues
  later in the va_list handling for vscnprintf()].

  For example the samples/bpf/tracex5 test printed lines like
  below on MIPS32, where the fd and buf have come from the u64
  fd argument, and the size from the buf argument:

    [...] 1180.941542: 0x00000001: write(fd=1, buf=  (null), size=6258688)

  Instead of this:

    [...] 1625.616026: 0x00000001: write(fd=1, buf=009e4000, size=512)

One way to get it working is to expand various combinations
of argument types into 8 different combinations for 32 bit
and 64 bit kernels. Fix tested by James on MIPS32 and MIPS64
as well that it resolves the issue.
