tracing/kprobes: Return EADDRNOTAVAIL when func matches several symbols

commit b022f0c7e404887a7c5229788fc99eff9f9a80d5 upstream.

When a kprobe is attached to a function that's name is not unique (is
static and shares the name with other functions in the kernel), the
kprobe is attached to the first function it finds. This is a bug as the
function that it is attaching to is not necessarily the one that the
user wants to attach to.

Instead of blindly picking a function to attach to what is ambiguous,
error with EADDRNOTAVAIL to let the user know that this function is not
unique, and that the user must use another unique function with an
address offset to get to the function they want to attach to.

[Sherry: 5.10.y added a new kselftest kprobe_non_uniq_symbol.tc by
backporting commit 09bcf9254838 ("selftests/ftrace: Add new test case which
checks non unique symbol"). However, 5.10.y didn't backport this commit which
provides unique symbol check suppport from kernel side. Minor conflicts due to
context change, ignore context change]
