[PATCH v13 02/12] tracing/probes: Avoid setting TPARG_FL_FENTRY and TPARG_FL_RETURN

From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google)

From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>

When parsing a kprobe event, the return probe always sets both
TPARG_FL_RETURN and TPARG_FL_FENTRY, but this is not useful because
some fetchargs are only for return probe and some others only for
function entry. Make it obviously mutual exclusive.
