[PATCH] perf - ensure offset provided during probe addition is notgreater than function length

[Prashanth Nageshappa]

perf probe allows kprobe to be inserted at any offset from a function
start, which results in adding kprobes to unintended location.
(example: perf probe do_fork+10000 is allowed even though size of
do_fork is ~904)

This patch will ensure probe addition fails when the offset specified
is greater than size of the function.
