Wang Nan 092b1f0b5f perf probe: Clear probe_trace_event when add_probe_trace_event() fails
When probing with a glob, errors in add_probe_trace_event() won't be
passed to debuginfo__find_trace_events() because it would be modified by
probe_point_search_cb(). It causes a segfault if perf fails to find an
argument for a probe point matched by the glob. For example:

  # ./perf probe -v -n 'SyS_dup? oldfd'
  probe-definition(0): SyS_dup? oldfd
  symbol:SyS_dup? file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null)
  parsing arg: oldfd into oldfd
  1 arguments
  Looking at the vmlinux_path (7 entries long)
  Using /lib/modules/4.3.0-rc4+/build/vmlinux for symbols
  Open Debuginfo file: /lib/modules/4.3.0-rc4+/build/vmlinux
  Try to find probe point from debuginfo.
  Matched function: SyS_dup3
  found inline addr: 0xffffffff812095c0
  Probe point found: SyS_dup3+0
  Searching 'oldfd' variable in context.
  Converting variable oldfd into trace event.
  oldfd type is long int.
  found inline addr: 0xffffffff812096d4
  Probe point found: SyS_dup2+36
  Searching 'oldfd' variable in context.
  Failed to find 'oldfd' in this function.

  oldfd type is long int.
  Matched function: SyS_dup2
  Probe point found: SyS_dup2+0
  Searching 'oldfd' variable in context.
  Converting variable oldfd into trace event.
  oldfd type is long int.
  Found 4 probe_trace_events.
  Opening /sys/kernel/debug/tracing//kprobe_events write=1
  Writing event: p:probe/SyS_dup3 _text+2135488 oldfd=%di:s64
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)
  #

This patch ensures that add_probe_trace_event() doesn't touches
tf->ntevs and tf->tevs if those functions fail.

After the patch:

  # perf probe  'SyS_dup? oldfd'
  Failed to find 'oldfd' in this function.
  Added new events:
    probe:SyS_dup3       (on SyS_dup? with oldfd)
    probe:SyS_dup3_1     (on SyS_dup? with oldfd)
    probe:SyS_dup2       (on SyS_dup? with oldfd)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	perf record -e probe:SyS_dup2 -aR sleep 1
