Subject: [PATCH 15/22] perf probe: Prevent segfault when reading probe point with absolute address

From: Wang Nan <wangnan0@...wei.com>

'perf probe -l' panic if there is a manually inserted probing point with
absolute address. For example:

  # echo 'p:probe/abs_ffffffff811e6615 0xffffffff811e6615' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
  # perf probe -l
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

This patch fix this problem by considering the situation that
"tp->symbol == NULL" in find_perf_probe_point_from_dwarf() and
find_perf_probe_point_from_map().

After this patch:

  # perf probe -l
  probe:abs_ffffffff811e6615 (on SyS_write+5@...read_write.c)

And when debug info is missing:

  # rm -rf ~/.debug
  # mv /lib/modules/4.2.0-rc1+/build/vmlinux /lib/modules/4.2.0-rc1+/build/vmlinux.bak
  # perf probe -l
  probe:abs_ffffffff811e6615 (on sys_write+5)
