tracing: Verify target file before registering a uprobe event
Without this patch, we can register a uprobe event for a directory. Enabling such a uprobe event would anyway fail. Example: $ echo 'p /bin:0x4245c0' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events However dirctories cannot be valid targets for uprobe. Hence verify if the target is a regular file during the probe registration.
