Previously to this commit, if func matches several symbols, a kprobe, being
either sysfs or PMU, would only be installed for the first matching address.
This could lead to some misunderstanding when some BPF code was never called
because it was attached to a function which was indeed not called, because
the effectively called one has no kprobes attached.
So, this commit returns EADDRNOTAVAIL when func matches several symbols.
This way, user needs to use address to remove the ambiguity.
