[RFC PATCH 1/3] perf probe: Init symbol as kprobe if any pev is kprobe

[Wang Nan]

Before this patch, add_perf_probe_events() init symbol maps only for
uprobe if the first pev passed to it is a uprobe event. However, with
the incoming BPF uprobe support, now it will be possible to pass an
array with combined kprobe and uprobe events to add_perf_probe_events().

This patch check all pevs instead of the first one, and init kernel
symbol if any events is not uprobe.
