[PATCH perf/core 2/4] [BUGFIX] perf probe: Cut off the postfixes from event name

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Cut off the postfixes which gcc added for optimized routines
from the event name automatically generated from symbol name,
since *probe-events doesn't accept it.
Those symbols will be used if we don't use debuginfo to find
target functions.

E.g. without this fix;
  -----
  # perf probe -va alloc_buf.isra.23
  probe-definition(0): alloc_buf.isra.23
  symbol:alloc_buf.isra.23 file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null)
  [...]
  Opening /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events write=1
  Added new event:
  Writing event: p:probe/alloc_buf.isra.23 _text+4869328
  Failed to write event: Invalid argument
    Error: Failed to add events. Reason: Invalid argument (Code: -22)
  -----
With this fix;
  -----
  perf probe -va alloc_buf.isra.23
  probe-definition(0): alloc_buf.isra.23
  symbol:alloc_buf.isra.23 file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null)
  [...]
  Opening /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events write=1
  Added new event:
  Writing event: p:probe/alloc_buf _text+4869328
    probe:alloc_buf      (on alloc_buf.isra.23)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  	perf record -e probe:alloc_buf -aR sleep 1
