[Bug translator/10822] New: procfs file created too late

["dsmith at redhat dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla@sourceware.org>]

I've investigated some testsuite/systemtap.base/onoffprobe.exp failures I was
seeing.  After seeing the output from the begin probe, the testcase immediately
tries to write to the procfs file created by the script.  This kept failing.

In looking at the translator-created C file, I see this:

====
   for (i=0; i<2; i++) {                                                       
      struct stap_be_probe* stp = & stap_be_probes [i];                         
      if (stp->type == 1)                                                       
        enter_be_probe (stp);                                                   
    }                                                                           
    for (i=0; i<2; i++) {                                                       
      struct stap_be_probe* stp = & stap_be_probes [i];                         
      if (stp->type == 2)                                                       
        enter_be_probe (stp);                                                   
    }                                                                           
    goto out;                                                                   
  }                                                                             
  for (i = 0; i < 1; i++) {                                                     
    struct stap_procfs_probe *spp = &stap_procfs_probes[i];                     
    if (spp->read_pp)                                                           
      probe_point = spp->read_pp;                                               
    else                                                                        
      probe_point = spp->write_pp;                                              
    rc = _stp_create_procfs(spp->path, i);

From the above, it appears that the begin probes are run, then the procfs file
is created.  I don't believe this is correct - begin probes should be run after
all the other probes types module init code has been run.
