    tracing/probes: Fix build break on !CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENT
    
    When kprobe-based dynamic event tracer is not enabled, it caused
    following build error:
    
       kernel/built-in.o: In function `traceprobe_update_arg':
       (.text+0x10c8dd): undefined reference to `fetch_symbol_u8'
       kernel/built-in.o: In function `traceprobe_update_arg':
       (.text+0x10c8e9): undefined reference to `fetch_symbol_u16'
       kernel/built-in.o: In function `traceprobe_update_arg':
       (.text+0x10c8f5): undefined reference to `fetch_symbol_u32'
       kernel/built-in.o: In function `traceprobe_update_arg':
       (.text+0x10c901): undefined reference to `fetch_symbol_u64'
       kernel/built-in.o: In function `traceprobe_update_arg':
       (.text+0x10c909): undefined reference to `fetch_symbol_string'
       kernel/built-in.o: In function `traceprobe_update_arg':
       (.text+0x10c913): undefined reference to `fetch_symbol_string_size'
       ...
    
    It was due to the fetch methods are referred from CHECK_FETCH_FUNCS
    macro and since it was only defined in trace_kprobe.c.  Move NULL
    definition of such fetch functions to the header file.
    
    Note, it also requires CONFIG_BRANCH_PROFILING enabled to trigger
    this failure as well. This is because the "fetch_symbol_*" variables
    are referenced in a "else if" statement that will only call
    update_symbol_cache(), which is a static inline stub function
    when CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENT is not enabled. gcc is smart enough
    to optimize this "else if" out and that also removes the code that
    references the undefined variables.
    
    But when BRANCH_PROFILING is enabled, it fools gcc into keeping
    the if statement around and thus references the undefined symbols
    and fails to build.
