tracing/probes: Reject symbol/symstr type for uprobe

Since uprobe's argument must contain the user-space data, that
should not be converted to kernel symbols. Reject if user
specifies these types on uprobe events. e.g.

 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 'p /bin/sh:10 %ax:symbol' >> uprobe_events
 sh: write error: Invalid argument
 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 'p /bin/sh:10 %ax:symstr' >> uprobe_events
 sh: write error: Invalid argument
 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat error_log
 [ 1783.134883] trace_uprobe: error: Unknown type is specified
   Command: p /bin/sh:10 %ax:symbol
                             ^
