Yes, this looks OK for fprobe. I confirmed above.

One concern was that the caller might expect that the address
must be ftrace_location(), but as far as I can read the function
document, there is no such description.

 * ftrace_lookup_symbols - Lookup addresses for array of symbols
...
 * This function looks up addresses for array of symbols provided in
 * @syms array (must be alphabetically sorted) and stores them in
 * @addrs array, which needs to be big enough to store at least @cnt
 * addresses.

So this change is OK.

Thank you,
