[PATCH] uprobe: checking probe event include directory

From: Jovi Zhang
Date: Tue Jul 17 2012 - 13:16:23 EST


Currently below command run successful:
$ echo 'p /bin:0x4245c0' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events

this don't make sense, because /bin is a directory,
so make this checking earily, not report error untill probe enable.
