tracing/hist: Call hist functions directly via a switch statement

Due to retpolines, indirect calls are much more expensive than direct
calls. The histograms have a select set of functions it uses for the
histograms, instead of using function pointers to call them, create a
hist_fn_call() function that uses a switch statement to call the histogram
functions directly. This gives a 13% speedup to the histogram logic.

Using the histogram benchmark:

Before:

 # event histogram
 #
 # trigger info: hist:keys=delta:vals=hitcount:sort=delta:size=2048 if delta > 0 [active]
 #

{ delta:        129 } hitcount:       2213
{ delta:        130 } hitcount:     285965
{ delta:        131 } hitcount:    1146545

The delta above is in nanoseconds. It brings the fastest time down from
129ns to 113ns, and the peak from 141ns to 126ns.
