Steven Rostedt a8fb260805 perf/tracing: Fix regression of perf losing kprobe events
With the addition of the code to shrink the kernel tracepoint
infrastructure, we lost kprobes being traced by perf. The reason
is that I tested if the "tp_event->class->perf_probe" existed before
enabling it. This prevents "ftrace only" events (like the function
trace events) from being enabled by perf.

Unfortunately, kprobe events do not use perf_probe. This causes
kprobes to be missed by perf. To fix this, we add the test to
see if "tp_event->class->reg" exists as well as perf_probe.

Normal trace events have only "perf_probe" but no "reg" function,
and kprobes and syscalls have the "reg" but no "perf_probe".
The ftrace unique events do not have either, so this is a valid
test. If a kprobe or syscall is not to be probed by perf, the
"reg" function is called anyway, and will return a failure and
prevent perf from probing it.
