Subject: [PATCH] perf/probe: Skip same probe address

Fix to skip making a same probe address on given line.

Since dwarf line info contains several entries for one line
with different column, perf probe will make a different
probe on same address if user specifies a probe point by
"function:line" or "file:line".

e.g.
 $ perf probe -D kernel_read:8
 p:probe/kernel_read_L8 kernel_read+39
 p:probe/kernel_read_L8_1 kernel_read+39

This skips such duplicated probe address.
