so available_filter_functions already contains all traceable symbols
for kprobe_multi/fprobe

kprobes/blacklist is kprobe specific and does not apply to fprobe,
is there a crash when attaching function from kprobes/blacklist ?

I think it'd be better to parse available_filter_functions directly
for kprobe_multi instead of filtering out kallsyms entries

we could add libbpf_available_filter_functions_parse function with
similar callback to go over available_filter_functions file
