tracing/kprobes: Allow to create probe with a module name starting with a digit
commit 9e52b32567126fe146f198971364f68d3bc5233f upstream.
Always try to parse an address, since kstrtoul() will safely fail when
given a symbol as input. If that fails (which will be the case for a
symbol), try to parse a symbol instead.
This allows creating a probe such as:
p:probe/vlan_gro_receive 8021q:vlan_gro_receive+0
Which is necessary for this command to work:
perf probe -m 8021q -a vlan_gro_receive

a kretprobe]
