Oh, to make your life easier. That shouldn't happen.

That's actually a mistake :-/

The asciidoc complains whenever a man page has more than 9 functions
described, so I have to break them up when I add more related APIs.

I probably missed removing some of the old functions when I did that
here.

The real fix is to remove the tep_find_function() and
tep_find_function_address() from libtraceevent-func_apis.txt.
