Subject: [PATCH 1/8] perf probe: Don't use strerror if strlist__add failed

Since the strlist__add doesn't involves any IO, the failure
reason must be ENOMEM or EINVAL, moreover this is just a
debug message, we don't need to show the error string.

And also, if get_probe_trace_command_rawlist() returns NULL,
it doesn't mean the rawlist is empty, there is an error.
So caller must use -ENOMEM for the error.
