[Bug tapsets/11574] New: probefunc() grudge match with user-space IPs


probefunc() rejects incoming PC values that indicate spaces outside
the kernel module.  But there is no corresponding uprobefunc() in the
tapset that does the complementary lookup on userspace IPs.  So either
probefunc() should just chill and do a plain _stp_symbol_snprint()
regardless of incoming IP value, or else we need a uprobefunc() proper.

(The pp()-parsing hack in probefunc() should probably also go.  If
we had enough debug data to be able to process foo.function("...")
probes, we should also have enough symbol data to map addresses
back to names.  Maybe kprobe.function("..") is an exception, if
we care a lot.)
