perf probe: Use right type to access array elements

Current 'perf probe' converts the type of array-elements incorrectly. It
always converts the types as a pointer of array. This passes the "array"
type DIE to the type converter so that it can get correct "element of
array" type DIE from it.

E.g.
  ====
  $ cat hello.c
  #include <stdio.h>

  void foo(int a[])
  {
	  printf("%d\n", a[1]);
  }

  void main()
  {
	  int a[3] = {4, 5, 6};
	  printf("%d\n", a[0]);
	  foo(a);
  }

  $ gcc -g hello.c -o hello
  $ perf probe -x ./hello -D "foo a[1]"
  ====

Without this fix, above outputs
  ====
  p:probe_hello/foo /tmp/hello:0x4d3 a=+4(-8(%bp)):u64
  ====
The "u64" means "int *", but a[1] is "int".

With this,
  ====
  p:probe_hello/foo /tmp/hello:0x4d3 a=+4(-8(%bp)):s32
  ====
So, "int" correctly converted to "s32"
