[PATCH] libbpf: replace '.' with '_' in legacy kprobe event name

From: Menglong Dong <imagedong@xxxxxxxxxxx>

'.' is not allowed in the event name of kprobe. Therefore, we will get a
EINVAL if the kernel function name has a '.' in legacy kprobe attach
case, such as 'icmp_reply.constprop.0'.

In order to adapt this case, we need to replace the '.' with other char
in gen_kprobe_legacy_event_name(). And I use '_' for this propose.
