trace_kprobe: Remove warning message "Could not insert probe at..."

This warning message is not very helpful, as the return value should
already show information about the error. Also, this message will
spam dmesg if the user space does testing in a loop, like:

    for x in {0..5}
    do
        echo p:xx xx+$x >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
    done
