If repeated legacy kprobes on same function in one process,
libbpf will register using the same probe name and got -EBUSY
error. So append index to the probe name format to fix this
problem.

And fix a bug in commit 46ed5fc33db9, which wrongly used the
func_name instead of probe_name to register.

BCC doesn't add this auto-increment (which is also not thread-safe)
and it seems like that works fine for all users.

What is the use case where you'd like to attach to the same kernel
function multiple times with legacy kprobe?
