Subject: [PATCH 14/16] perf probe: Improve error message when %return is on inlined function

From: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@...achi.com>

perf probe shows more precisely message when it finds given
%return target function is inlined.

Without this fix:
  ----
  # ./perf probe -V getname_flags%return
  Return probe must be on the head of a real function.
  Debuginfo analysis failed.
    Error: Failed to show vars.
  ----

With this fix:
  ----
  # ./perf probe -V getname_flags%return
  Failed to find "getname_flags%return",
   because getname_flags is an inlined function and has no return point.
  Debuginfo analysis failed.
    Error: Failed to show vars.
  ----
