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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
