perf probe: Fix to get correct modname from elf header

Since 'perf probe' supports cross-arch probes, it is possible to analyze
different arch kernel image which has different bits-per-long.

In that case, it fails to get the module name because it uses the
MOD_NAME_OFFSET macro based on the host machine bits-per-long, instead
of the target arch bits-per-long.

This fixes above issue by changing modname-offset based on the target
archs bit width. This is ok because linux kernel uses LP64 model on
64bit arch.

E.g. without this (on x86_64, and target module is arm32):

  $ perf probe -m build-arm/fs/configfs/configfs.ko -D configfs_lookup
  p:probe/configfs_lookup :configfs_lookup+0
                          ^-Here is an empty module name.

With this fix, you can see correct module name:

  $ perf probe -m build-arm/fs/configfs/configfs.ko -D configfs_lookup
  p:probe/configfs_lookup configfs:configfs_lookup+0
