introduce kernel_tracepoint_find_by_name() helper to let bpf core
find tracepoint by name and later attach bpf probe to a tracepoint

Steven showed preference for tracepoint_kernel_find_by_name() at some
point (starting with a tracepoint_ prefix). I'm find with either of
the names.

Yeah, I do prefer tracepoint_kernel_find_by_name() to stay consistent
with the other tracepoint functions. But we have
"for_each_kernel_tracepoint()" and not "for_each_tracepoint_kernel()",
thus we need to pick being consistent with one or the other. One answer
is to use tracpoint_kernel_find_by_name() and rename the for_each to
for_each_tracpoint_kernel().

yep. that's exactly the reason I picked kernel_tracepoint_find_by_name()
to match for_each_kernel_tracepoint() naming.

I can certainly send a follow up patch to rename both to
*tracepoint_kernel* and then you can nack it because it breaks lttng :)
but let's do it in a separate thread.

Daniel,
do you mind adding { } as Steven requested while applying or
you want me to resubmit the whole thing?

Thanks!
