Subject: [PATCH perf/core v2 3/3] [BUGFIX] perf probe: Show usage even if
 the last event is skipped

When the last part of converted events are blacklisted or out-of-text,
those are skipped and perf probe doesn't show usage examples.
This fixes it to show the example even if the last part of event list
is skipped.

E.g. without this patch, events are added, but suddenly end;
  ----
  # perf probe vfs_*
  vfs_caches_init_early is out of .text, skip it.
  vfs_caches_init is out of .text, skip it.
  Added new events:
    probe:vfs_fallocate  (on vfs_*)
    probe:vfs_open       (on vfs_*)
  ...
    probe:vfs_dentry_acceptable (on vfs_*)
    probe:vfs_load_quota_inode (on vfs_*)
  #
  ----
With this fix;
  ----
  # perf probe vfs_*
  vfs_caches_init_early is out of .text, skip it.
  vfs_caches_init is out of .text, skip it.
  Added new events:
    probe:vfs_fallocate  (on vfs_*)
  ...
    probe:vfs_load_quota_inode (on vfs_*)

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

	perf record -e probe:vfs_load_quota_inode -aR sleep 1
