After a recent change in clang to strengthen uninitialized warnings [1],
it points out that in one of the error paths in parse_btf_arg(), params
is used uninitialized:

  kernel/trace/trace_probe.c:660:19: warning: variable 'params' is uninitialized when used here [-Wuninitialized]
    660 |                         return PTR_ERR(params);
        |                                        ^~~~~~

Match many other NO_BTF_ENTRY error cases and return -ENOENT, clearing
up the warning.
