Fix: lttng: add-trigger: erroneous null check on location return

1447042 Dereference before null check

There may be a null pointer dereference, or else the comparison against
null is unnecessary.

In parse_kernel_probe_opts: All paths that lead to this null pointer
comparison already dereference the pointer earlier (CWE-476)
