python: Filter duplicate in get_kprobe_functions

`BPF.get_kprobe_functions` does not filter duplicates, and
as a result may return the same function name more than
once if it appears in /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/available_filter_functions
more than once. Change the function's behavior to filter
out duplicates before returning, so we don't end up
attaching the same kprobe more than once.
