Honestly, I think this is too much of a short cut and a hack. I know
you want to keep it "simple" and save space, but you really should do
it the same way ftrace and perf do it. That is, create a section and
have all tracepoints create a structure that holds a pointer to the
tracepoint and to the bpf probe function. Then you don't even need the
kernel_tracepoint_find_by_name(), you just iterate over your table and
you get the tracepoint and the bpf function associated to it.

Also, if you do it the perf/ftrace way, you get support for module
tracepoints pretty much for free. Which would include tracepoints in
networking code that is loaded by a module.
