From: Menglong Dong <imagedong@xxxxxxxxxxx> '.' is not allowed in the event name of kprobe. Therefore, we will get a EINVAL if the kernel function name has a '.' in legacy kprobe attach case, such as 'icmp_reply.constprop.0'. In order to adapt this case, we need to replace the '.' with other char in gen_kprobe_legacy_event_name(). And I use '_' for this propose.
