perf probe: Fix list result when symbol can't be found

'perf probe -l' reports error if it is unable find symbol through
address. Here is an example.

  # echo 'p:probe_libc/abs_5 /lib64/libc.so.6:0x5' >
          /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
   p:probe_libc/abs_5 /lib64/libc.so.6:0x0000000000000005
  # perf probe -l
    Error: Failed to show event list

Also, this situation triggers a logical inconsistency in
convert_to_perf_probe_point() that, it returns ENOMEM but actually it
never try strdup().

This patch removes !tp->module && !is_kprobe condition, so it always
uses address to build function name if symbol not found.

Test result:

  # perf probe -l
    probe_libc:abs_5     (on 0x5 in /lib64/libc.so.6)
