[PATCH] tracing/probes: Point the error offset correctly for eprobe argument error

[Masami Hiramatsu (Google)]

From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>

Fix to point the error offset correctly for eprobe argument error.
In the cleanup commit 1b8b0cd754cd ("tracing/probes: Move event parameter
fetching code to common parser"), due to incorrect backward compatibility
aimed at conforming to the test specifications, the error location was set
to 0 when a non-existent formal parameter was specified for Eprobe.
However, this should be corrected in both the test and the implementation
to point correct error position.

Fixes: 1b8b0cd754cd ("tracing/probes: Move event parameter fetching code to common parser")
