libbpf: Refactor and simplify legacy kprobe code
Refactor legacy kprobe handling code to follow the same logic as uprobe
legacy logic added in the next patchs:
- add append_to_file() helper that makes it simpler to work with
tracefs file-based interface for creating and deleting probes;
- move out probe/event name generation outside of the code that
adds/removes it, which simplifies bookkeeping significantly;
- change the probe name format to start with "libbpf_" prefix and
include offset within kernel function;
- switch 'unsigned long' to 'size_t' for specifying kprobe offsets,
which is consistent with how uprobes define that, simplifies
printf()-ing internally, and also avoids unnecessary complications on
architectures where sizeof(long) != sizeof(void *).
This patch also implicitly fixes the problem with invalid open() error
handling present in poke_kprobe_events(), which (the function) this
patch removes.
Fixes: ca304b40c20d ("libbpf: Introduce legacy kprobe events support")
