[PATCH -tip 4/4] perf/probe: Improve error messages with --line option

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Improve error messages of perf probe --line mode. Current
perf probe shows "Debuginfo analysis failed" error with an
error code when the given symbol is not found as below.

  -----
  # perf probe -L page_cgroup_init_flatmem
  Debuginfo analysis failed. (-2)
    Error: Failed to show lines.
  -----

But -2 (-ENOMEM) means that the given source line or function
is not found. With this patch, perf probe shows correct error
message as below.

  -----
  # perf probe -L page_cgroup_init_flatmem
  Specified source line is not found.
    Error: Failed to show lines.
  -----

There is also another debug error code is shown in the same
function after get_real_path(). This removes that too.
