Subject: [PATCH] perf-probe: Accept the instance number of kretprobe event

Since the commit 6a13a0d7b4d1 ("ftrace/kprobe: Show the
maxactive number on kprobe_events") introduced to show the
instance number of kretprobe events, the length of the 1st
format of the kprobe event will not 1, but it can be longer.
This caused a parser error in perf-probe.

Skip the length check the 1st format of the kprobe event
to accept this instance number.

Without this fix:

  # perf probe -a vfs_read%return
  Added new event:
    probe:vfs_read__return (on vfs_read%return)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  	perf record -e probe:vfs_read__return -aR sleep 1

  # perf probe -l
  Semantic error :Failed to parse event name: r16:probe/vfs_read__return
    Error: Failed to show event list.

And with this fixes:

  # perf probe -a vfs_read%return
  ...
  # perf probe -l
    probe:vfs_read__return (on vfs_read%return)
