Subject: [PATCH] tracing/fprobe: Remove fprobe from hash in failure path

When register_fprobe_ips() fails, it tries to remove a list of
fprobe_hash_node from fprobe_ip_table, but it missed to remove
fprobe itself from fprobe_table. Moreover, when removing
the fprobe_hash_node which is added to rhltable once, it must
use kfree_rcu() after removing from rhltable.

To fix these issues, this reuses unregister_fprobe() internal
code to rollback the half-way registered fprobe.
