Fix boottime kprobe events to report and abort after each failure when
adding probes.

As an example, when we try to set multiprobe kprobe events in
bootconfig like this:

ftrace.event.kprobes.vfsevents {
        probes = "vfs_read $arg1 $arg2,,
                 !error! not reported;?", // leads to error
                 "vfs_write $arg1 $arg2"
}

This will not work as expected. After
commit da0f1f4167e3af69e ("tracing/boottime: Fix kprobe event API usage"),
the function trace_boot_add_kprobe_event will not produce any error
message when adding a probe fails at kprobe_event_gen_cmd_start.
Furthermore, we continue to add probes when kprobe_event_gen_cmd_end fails
(and kprobe_event_gen_cmd_start did not fail). In this case the function
even returns successfully when the last call to kprobe_event_gen_cmd_end
is successful.

The behaviour of reporting and aborting after failures is not
consistent.

The function trace_boot_add_kprobe_event now reports each failure and
stops adding probes immediately.
