Subject: [PATCH v1 1/2] perf probe: Fixup Arm64 SDT arguments

Arm64 ELF section '.note.stapsdt' uses string format "-4@[sp, NUM]" if
the probe is to access data in stack, e.g. below is an example for
dumping Arm64 ELF file and shows the argument format:

  Arguments: -4@[sp, 12] -4@[sp, 8] -4@[sp, 4]

Comparing against other archs' argument format, Arm64's argument
introduces an extra space character in the middle of square brackets,
due to argv_split() uses space as splitter, the argument is wrongly
divided into two items.

To support Arm64 SDT, this patch fixes up for this case, if any item
contains sub string "[sp", concatenates the two continuous items.  And
adds the detailed explaination in comment.
