Subject: [PATCH] Fix get_kprobe_functions

get_kprobe_functions will not only return a function that matches the
regular expression, but also any function that starts with a
substrings that matches it. This is obviously not the intended
behavior.
The issue is easily fixed by replacing re.match by re.fullmatch.
