[ Upstream commit 9e6124d9d635957b56717f85219a88701617253f ]
Since add_probe_trace_event() can reuse tf->tevs[i] after calling
clear_probe_trace_event(), this can make perf-probe crash if the 1st
attempt of probe event finding fails to find an event argument, and the
2nd attempt fails to find probe point.
E.g.
$ perf probe -D "task_pid_nr tsk"
Failed to find 'tsk' in this function.
Failed to get entry address of warn_bad_vsyscall
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Committer testing:
After the patch:
$ perf probe -D "task_pid_nr tsk"
Failed to find 'tsk' in this function.
Failed to get entry address of warn_bad_vsyscall
Failed to get entry address of signal_fault
Failed to get entry address of show_signal
Failed to get entry address of umip_printk
Failed to get entry address of __bad_area_nosemaphore
<SNIP>
Failed to get entry address of sock_set_timeout
Failed to get entry address of tcp_recvmsg
Probe point 'task_pid_nr' not found.
Error: Failed to add events.

add_probe_trace_event() fails")
