Fix boottime kprobe events to use API correctly for multiple events. For example, when we set a multiprobe kprobe events in bootconfig like below, ftrace.event.kprobes.myevent { probes = "vfs_read $arg1 $arg2", "vfs_write $arg1 $arg2" } This cause an error; trace_boot: Failed to add probe: p:kprobes/myevent (null) vfs_read $arg1 $arg2 vfs_write $arg1 $arg2 This shows the 1st argument becomes NULL and multiprobes are merged to 1 probe.
