Updating the fields of the TracepointProvider does not propagate changes to the
tracepoints. This shows when a pid filter is enabled, whereby subsequent
extensions of the fields of the Tracepoint provider (e.g. by toggling
drilldown) will not modify the tracepoints as required.
To reproduce, select a specific process via interactive command 'p', and
enable drilldown via 'x' - none of the fields with the braces will appear
although they should.
The fix will always leave all available fields in the TracepointProvider
enabled.
