Fix to check the tracepoint event is not valid with $retval.
The commit 08c9306fc2e3 ("tracing/fprobe-event: Assume fprobe is
a return event by $retval") introduced automatic return probe
conversion with $retval. But since tracepoint event does not
support return probe, $retval is not acceptable.

Without this fix, ftracetest, tprobe_syntax_errors.tc fails;

[22] Tracepoint probe event parser error log check [FAIL]
----
# tail 22-tprobe_syntax_errors.tc-log.mRKroL
+ ftrace_errlog_check trace_fprobe t kfree ^$retval dynamic_events
+ printf %s t kfree
+ wc -c
+ pos=8
+ printf %s t kfree ^$retval
+ tr -d ^
+ command=t kfree $retval
+ echo Test command: t kfree $retval
Test command: t kfree $retval
+ echo
----

So 't kfree $retval' should fail (tracepoint doesn't support
return probe) but passed it.
