perf probe: Add --no-inlines option to avoid searching inline functions

Add --no-inlines(--inlines) option to avoid searching inline functions.

Searching all functions which matches glob pattern can take a long time
and find a lot of inline functions.

With this option perf-probe searches target on the non-inlined
functions.
