enable_trace_fprobe() sets the file link or the TP_FLAG_PROFILE flag and
then registers each trace_fprobe in the probe list. If
__register_trace_fprobe() fails partway through, the function returns
immediately without unregistering the trace_fprobes it already registered
or undoing the file link / flag it set, leaving the event half-enabled and
leaking the registered fprobe(s).

enable_trace_kprobe() already handles this with a rollback path. Do the
same for fprobe: on failure, unregister all probes and clear the file link
or profile flag.

Fixes: 334e5519c375 ("tracing/probes: Add fprobe events for tracing function entry and exit.")
