Wang Nan 1c0bd0e891 perf probe: Try to use symbol table if searching debug info failed
A problem can occur in a statically linked perf when vmlinux can be found:

 # perf probe --add sys_epoll_pwait
 probe-definition(0): sys_epoll_pwait
 symbol:sys_epoll_pwait file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null)
 0 arguments
 Looking at the vmlinux_path (7 entries long)
 Using /lib/modules/4.2.0-rc1+/build/vmlinux for symbols
 Open Debuginfo file: /lib/modules/4.2.0-rc1+/build/vmlinux
 Try to find probe point from debuginfo.
 Symbol sys_epoll_pwait address found : ffffffff8122bd40
 Matched function: SyS_epoll_pwait
 Failed to get call frame on 0xffffffff8122bd40
 An error occurred in debuginfo analysis (-2).
   Error: Failed to add events. Reason: No such file or directory (Code: -2)

The reason is caused by libdw that, if libdw is statically linked, it
can't load libebl_{arch}.so reliable.

In this case it is still possible to get the address from
/proc/kalksyms.  However, perf tries that only when libdw returns
-EBADF.

This patch gives it another chance to utilize symbol table, even if
libdw returns an error code other than -EBADF.

After applying this patch:

 # perf probe -nv --add sys_epoll_pwait
 probe-definition(0): sys_epoll_pwait
 symbol:sys_epoll_pwait file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null)
 0 arguments
 Looking at the vmlinux_path (7 entries long)
 Using /lib/modules/4.2.0-rc1+/build/vmlinux for symbols

 Try to find probe point from debuginfo.
 Symbol sys_epoll_pwait address found : ffffffff8122bd40
 Matched function: SyS_epoll_pwait
 Failed to get call frame on 0xffffffff8122bd40
 An error occurred in debuginfo analysis (-2).
 Trying to use symbols.
 Opening /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events write=1
 Added new event:
 Writing event: p:probe/sys_epoll_pwait _text+2276672
   probe:sys_epoll_pwait (on sys_epoll_pwait)

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

 	perf record -e probe:sys_epoll_pwait -aR sleep 1

Although libdw returns an error (Failed to get call frame), perf tries
symbol table and finally gets correct address.
