perf probe: Ignore vmlinux buildid if offline kernel is given

Ignore the buildid of running kernel when both of --definition and
--vmlinux is given because that kernel should be off-line.

This also skips post-processing of kprobe event for relocating symbol
and checking blacklist, because it can not be done on off-line kernel.

E.g. without this fix perf shows an error as below
  ----
  $ perf probe --vmlinux=./vmlinux-arm --definition do_sys_open
  ./vmlinux-arm with build id 7a1f76dd56e9c4da707cd3d6333f50748141434b not found, continuing without symbols
  Failed to find symbol do_sys_open in kernel
    Error: Failed to add events.
  ----
with this fix, we can get the definition
  ----
  $ perf probe --vmlinux=./vmlinux-arm --definition do_sys_open
  p:probe/do_sys_open do_sys_open+0
