This is good, but it also doesn't address the original problem. On
older kernels that don't have available_filter_functions_addrs, we'll
still be trying to attach to non-attachable kprobes?

So I think we'll still need to add available_filter_functions-based
filtering on top of kallsyms. I guess we'll have to collect all
symbols+addr from kallsyms, sort them, then go over
available_filter_functions and do binary search. If element is not
found, we'll mark it for removal. Then last pass to filter out marked
entries to keep only addrs to be passed to kernel?

if this is expected to happen, we shouldn't pr_warn() and pollute log output

instead of try, fail, try something else approach, can we check that
tracefs_available_filter_functions_addrs() exists and is readable, and
if yes -- commit to it. If something fails -- to bad. If it doesn't
exist, fallback to kallsyms. And we won't need ugly
kprobe_multi_resolve_reinit() hack.
