Probes fixes for v6.8-rc3:

- kprobes: Remove unnecessary initial values of local variables.
 
  - tracing/probe-events: Fixing parser bugs.
    . Fix to calculate the argument size and format string after setting
      type information from BTF, because BTF can change the size and format
      string.
    . Fix to show $comm parse error correctly instead of failing silently.
