Subject: tracing: probeevent: Fix to support minus offset from symbol

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org>

commit c5d343b6b7badd1f5fe0873eff2e8d63a193e732 upstream.

In Documentation/trace/kprobetrace.txt, it says

 @SYM[+|-offs] : Fetch memory at SYM +|- offs (SYM should be a data symbol)

However, the parser doesn't parse minus offset correctly, since
commit 2fba0c8867af ("tracing/kprobes: Fix probe offset to be
unsigned") drops minus ("-") offset support for kprobe probe
address usage.

This fixes the traceprobe_split_symbol_offset() to parse minus
offset again with checking the offset range, and add a minus
offset check in kprobe probe address usage.
