[PATCH] tracing: tprobe-events: Fix to clean up tprobe correctly when module unload

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

When unloading module, the tprobe events are not correctly cleaned
up. Thus it becomes `fprobe-event` and never be enabled again even
if loading the same module again.

For example;

# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# modprobe trace_events_sample
# echo 't:my_tprobe foo_bar' >> dynamic_events
# cat dynamic_events
t:tracepoints/my_tprobe foo_bar
# rmmod trace_events_sample
# cat dynamic_events
f:tracepoints/my_tprobe foo_bar

As you can see, the second time my_tprobe starts with 'f' instead
of 't'.

This cleans up (unregister) the tprobe events when module is
unloaded.
