tracing/probes: Fix build break on !CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENT
When kprobe-based dynamic event tracer is not enabled, it caused
following build error:
kernel/built-in.o: In function `traceprobe_update_arg':
(.text+0x10c8dd): undefined reference to `fetch_symbol_u8'
kernel/built-in.o: In function `traceprobe_update_arg':

kernel/built-in.o: In function `traceprobe_update_arg':
(.text+0x10c8f5): undefined reference to `fetch_symbol_u32'
kernel/built-in.o: In function `traceprobe_update_arg':
(.text+0x10c901): undefined reference to `fetch_symbol_u64'
kernel/built-in.o: In function `traceprobe_update_arg':

kernel/built-in.o: In function `traceprobe_update_arg':
(.text+0x10c913): undefined reference to `fetch_symbol_string_size'
...
It was due to the fetch methods are referred from CHECK_FETCH_FUNCS
macro and since it was only defined in trace_kprobe.c. Move NULL
definition of such fetch functions to the header file.
Note, it also requires CONFIG_BRANCH_PROFILING enabled to trigger
this failure as well. This is because the "fetch_symbol_*" variables
are referenced in a "else if" statement that will only call
update_symbol_cache(), which is a static inline stub function
when CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENT is not enabled. gcc is smart enough
to optimize this "else if" out and that also removes the code that
references the undefined variables.
But when BRANCH_PROFILING is enabled, it fools gcc into keeping
the if statement around and thus references the undefined symbols
and fails to build.
