Not sure where the o/p message for perf probe --cache --del
is coming from here. So, if we are removing an event from the cache,
is it intended to remove that from the {u,k}probe_events file as well?

The patch removes only from the cache (which I think is the intended
behavior).  With this patch, when I delete an event from the cache, it
silently deletes it. So, do we add some kind of a message there?

# ./perf probe --cache --list
[kernel.kallsyms] (818a8e96766649cb2b62fc0bc3e66c27be0cd870):
vfs_read
/usr/lib64/libc-2.18.so (e8587f5d2edba244cc43368b5ebfce1782195b6f):
getaddrinfo $params

# ./perf probe --cache --del vfs_read\*
#

If we are silently removing the events from the cache, the commit message
needs to be ammended.
