perf probe: Fix add event failure when running 32-bit perf in a 64-bit kernel

The "address" member of "struct probe_trace_point" uses long data type.
If kernel is 64-bit and perf program is 32-bit, size of "address"
variable is 32 bits.

As a result, upper 32 bits of address read from kernel are truncated, an
error occurs during address comparison in kprobe_warn_out_range().

Before:

  # perf probe -a schedule
  schedule is out of .text, skip it.
    Error: Failed to add events.

Solution:
  Change data type of "address" variable to u64 and change corresponding
address printing and value assignment.

After:

  # perf.new.new probe -a schedule
  Added new event:
    probe:schedule       (on schedule)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

          perf record -e probe:schedule -aR sleep 1

  # perf probe -l
    probe:schedule       (on schedule@kernel/sched/core.c)
  # perf record -e probe:schedule -aR sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.156 MB perf.data (1366 samples) ]
  # perf report --stdio
  # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
  #
  #
  # Total Lost Samples: 0
  #
  # Samples: 1K of event 'probe:schedule'
  # Event count (approx.): 1366
