tracepoint: check if the probe has been registered
Impact: fix kernel crash that can trigger during tracing
If we try to remove a probe that has not been already registered,
the tracepoint_entry_remove_probe() function will dereference a NULL
pointer.
Check the probe before removing it to avoid crashes.
