selftests/ftrace: Fix unique symbol check in kprobe_non_uniq_symbol.tcgrafted
The current regex also matches symbols in modules, which makes the
test fail on s390 where name_show is present only once in the kernel,
but also multiple times in modules:
000001b1401cdc20 t name_show
000001b0c05e6c40 t name_show [mdev]
000001b0c0495f30 t name_show [i2c_core]
Fix this by changing the regular expression to only match the function
name.
