[PATCH 19/22] perf probe: Fix list result when address is zero

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Wang Nan <wangnan0@xxxxxxxxxx>

When manually added uprobe point with zero address, 'perf probe -l'
reports error. For example:

  # echo p:probe_libc/abs_0 /path/to/lib.bin:0x0 arg1=%ax > \
           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events

  # perf probe -l
  Error: Failed to show event list.

Probing at 0x0 is possible and useful when lib.bin is not a normal
shared object but is manually mapped. However, in this case kernel
report:

  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
  p:probe_libc/abs_0 /path/to/lib.bin:0x          (null) arg1=%ax

This patch supports the above kernel output.
