Subject: [PATCH] trace/trace_fprobe.c: TODO: handle filter, nofilter or symbol list
Resolve TODO in `__register_trace_fprobe()`:
parse `tf->symbol` robustly (support `sym!filter` and comma-separated lists), trim tokens, ignore empties, deduplicate symbols, use bulk registration for lists, return `-EEXIST` if already registered, and preserve lockdown/tracepoint deferral semantics.
Please note that this was my personal interpretation of what TODO
required here. Welcoming any feedback.
