…ux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace

Pull probes fixes from Masami Hiramatsu:

 - remove unnecessary initial values of kprobes local variables

 - probe-events parser bug fixes:

    - calculate the argument size and format string after setting type
      information from BTF, because BTF can change the size and format
      string.

    - show $comm parse error correctly instead of failing silently.
