Add a tracefs_kprobe_raw() to facilitate adding kprobe events. It's
denoted as "raw" because it still requires knowing the complex format of
a kprobe, but at least it helps with other formats:

 p:[[system/]event] addr fmt

The user only needs to know the "fmt" part above, and not worry about
what file to open, or how to open it.

Also add a tracefs_kprobe_clear() to clear all kprobes and a
tracefs_kprobe_clear_probe() to clear an individual kprobe. Both have a
"force" parameter, that if set, will then try to disable the kprobe in
all instances (including the top) and then remove the kprobe(s).

Changes since v4: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-devel/20210702035443.154729-1-rostedt@goodmis.org/

 - Removed leftover regcomp() (Yordan Karadzhov)
 - Fix realloc size of instance names array (Yordan Karadzhov)
 - Initialize instance name array last element to NULL (Yordan Karadzhov)
 - Use calloc instead of malloc/set-to-NULL for empty list (Yordan Karadzhov)
 - Remove leftover struct instance_list in kprobe code. (Yordan Karadzhov)
