What the logic behind is not to implement a function like
'for_each_tracepoints' instead of 'for_each_kernel_tracepoint' to find
all the TPs defined by both builtin kernel and external kernel
modules, just like we can find all the kernel symbols and exported
symbols from external module?

Yes, but module b needs to register a new probe call back function for
the new TPs defined by module a in my case, so first it needs to find
the TPs defined by module a. Any comments?
