Search for usage of the condition field in probe_point's.

You won't need to worry about this part. It will be a generic feature
that will be activated for all probe families as a matter of course,
once I finish the first one (for ordinary kprobes). The syntax is
already active, and checking of the condition expressions is already
present (early during pass 2).
