Subject: [PATCH] tracing/probe: trace_probe_primary_from_call(): checked
 list_first_entry

All callers of trace_probe_primary_from_call() check the return
value to be non NULL. However, the function returns
list_first_entry(&tpe->probes, ...) which can never be NULL.
Additionally, it does not check for the list being possibly empty,
possibly causing a type confusion on empty lists.
Use list_first_entry_or_null() which solves both problems.

Fixes: 60d53e2c3b75 ("tracing/probe: Split trace_event related data from trace_probe")
