Currently, multiple kprobe programs are suffering from symbol mismatch
due to compiler optimization. These optimizations might induce
additional suffix to the symbol name such as '.isra' or '.constprop'.
# egrep ' finish_task_switch| __netif_receive_skb_core' /proc/kallsyms
ffffffff81135e50 t finish_task_switch.isra.0
ffffffff81dd36d0 t __netif_receive_skb_core.constprop.0
ffffffff8205cc0e t finish_task_switch.isra.0.cold
ffffffff820b1aba t __netif_receive_skb_core.constprop.0.cold
To avoid this, this commit replaces the original kprobe section to
kprobe.multi in order to match symbol with wildcard characters. Here,
asterisk is used for avoiding symbol mismatch.
