AFAICT it doesn't (I ever wrote that in the comment on top). There's two
implementations of kprobe_lookup_name(), the weak version doesn't even
use the offset argument, and the PowerPC implementation only checks for
!offset and doesn't fold it.

I'm feeling we should error out in that case. Using sym+offset beyond
the limits of sym is just daft.

But if you really want/need to retain that, then yes, we need that
else branch unconditionally :/
