perf probe: Skip same probe address for a given line

Fix to skip making a same probe address on given line.

Since a DWARF line info contains several entries for one line with
different column, perf probe will make a different probe on same address
if user specifies a probe point by "function:line" or "file:line".

e.g.
 $ perf probe -D kernel_read:8
 p:probe/kernel_read_L8 kernel_read+39
 p:probe/kernel_read_L8_1 kernel_read+39

This skips such duplicated probe addresses.

Before:

  # perf probe -D kernel_read:8
  p:probe/kernel_read _text+3115191
  p:probe/kernel_read_1 _text+3115191
  #

After:

  # perf probe -D kernel_read:8
  p:probe/kernel_read _text+3115191
