Subject: [PATCH] perf test shell: Add -D to check dynamic symbols for ubuntu/debian

On Ubuntu and Debian, we can't find any symbol including "inet_pton" from 'nm -g'
root@...lkp-nex04-8G-5 ~# nm -g /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.25.so | grep inet_pton
nm: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.25.so: no symbols

it looks libc.so has different symbol compositions at different distros

Usage: nm [option(s)] [file(s)]
 List symbols in [file(s)] (a.out by default).
 The options are:
...snip...
  -D, --dynamic          Display dynamic symbols instead of normal symbols
      --defined-only     Display only defined symbols
  -e                     (ignored)
  -f, --format=FORMAT    Use the output format FORMAT.  FORMAT can be `bsd',
                           `sysv' or `posix'.  The default is `bsd'
  -g, --extern-only      Display only external symbols

I tested both debian/ubuntu and RHEL, they work as expected
