[DTrace-devel] [PATCH] usdt, stapsdt: fix arguument handling for multi-location probes

When a USDT probe has multiple call sites in the same function, only one
of the probe programs retrieves the argument values correctly. The
probe argument data is collected for the first underlying probe, and then
skipped for any subsequent underlying probes.
Since it is not guaranteed that the argument description is identical for
all underlying probes (although it is almost always that way), we need to
process the argument description string for each underlying probe.
