This must be done in call-site, since we don't need it clearly
in below case.

----
/* Try to find perf_probe_event with debuginfo */
static int try_to_find_probe_trace_events(struct perf_probe_event *pev,
struct probe_trace_event **tevs)
{
bool need_dwarf = perf_probe_event_need_dwarf(pev);
struct perf_probe_point tmp;
struct debuginfo *dinfo;
int ntevs, ret = 0;

dinfo = open_debuginfo(pev->target, pev->nsi, !need_dwarf);

Thanks,
