Sorry for confusion, this fixes nothing.

Just there is no reason to pass "addr = kp.addr", we report it in entry.

Note also that kprobes is the last user perf_trace_buf_submit(addr != 0),
perhaps we can kill this arg and __perf_addr().

See also 32520b2c6 "Don't pass addr=ip to perf_trace_buf_submit()".
