Fix synthetic event to accept unsigned modifier for its field type
correctly.
Currently, synthetic_events interface returns error for "unsigned"
modifiers as below;
# echo "myevent unsigned long var" >> synthetic_events
sh: write error: Invalid argument
This is because argv_split() breaks "unsigned long" into "unsigned"
and "long", but parse_synth_field() doesn't expected it.
With this fix, synthetic_events can handle the "unsigned long"
correctly like as below;
# echo "myevent unsigned long var" >> synthetic_events
# cat synthetic_events
myevent unsigned long var

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
