tracing/kprobes: Support module init function probing

To support probing module init functions, kprobe-tracer allows
user to define a probe on non-existed function when it is given
with a module name. This also enables user to set a probe on
a function on a specific module, even if a same name (but different)
function is locally defined in another module.

The module name must be in the front of function name and separated
by a ':'. e.g. btrfs:btrfs_init_sysfs

MOD : Module name which has given SYM.
