Subject: [PATCH perf/core 3/4] perf-probe: Fix to cut off incompatible chars from group name

Cut off the characters which can not use for group name of uprobes
when making it based on executable filename.

For example, if the exec name is libstdc++.so, without this fix
perf probe generates "probe_libstdc++" as the group name, but
it is failed to set because '+' can not be used for group name.

With this fix perf accepts only alphabet, number or '_' for group
name, thus perf generates "probe_libstdc" as the group name.

E.g. with this fix, you can see the event name has no "+".
