Subject: [PATCH perf/core 2/3] perf-probe: Fix to probe on gcc generated symbols for offline kernel

Fix perf-probe to show probe definition on gcc generated symbols
for offline kernel (including cross-arch kernel image).

Gcc sometimes optimizes functions and generate new symbols with
suffixes such as ".constprop.N" or ".isra.N" etc. Since those
symbol names are not recorded in DWARF, we have to find correct
generated symbols from offline ELF binary to probe on it (kallsyms
doesn't correct it).
For online kernel or uprobes we don't need it because those are
rebased on _text, or a section relative address.

E.g. Without this;
  -----
  $ perf probe -k build-arm/vmlinux -F __slab_alloc*
  __slab_alloc.constprop.9
  $ perf probe -k build-arm/vmlinux -D __slab_alloc
  p:probe/__slab_alloc __slab_alloc+0
  -----
If you put above definition on target machine, it should fail
because there is no __slab_alloc in kallsyms.

With this fix, perf probe shows correct probe definition on
__slab_alloc.constprop.9.
  -----
  $ perf probe -k build-arm/vmlinux -D __slab_alloc
  p:probe/__slab_alloc __slab_alloc.constprop.9+0
  -----
