selftests/ftrace: Fix probepoint testcase to ignore __pfx_* symbols
[ Upstream commit 96cd93af794cf3ef83ae1ad7291160029d7b525e ]
Fix kprobe probepoint testcase to ignore __pfx_* prefix symbols. Those are
introduced by commit b341b20d648b ("x86: Add prefix symbols for function
padding") for identifying PADDING_BYTES of NOPs. Since kprobe events can
not probe these prefix symbols, this testcase has to skip those symbols.
