perf probe: Add basic module support

Add basic module probe support on perf probe. This introduces "--module
<MODNAME>" option to perf probe for putting probes and showing lines and
variables in the given module.

Currently, this supports only probing on running modules.  Supporting off-line
module probing is the next step.

e.g.)
[show lines]
 # ./perf probe --module drm -L drm_vblank_info
<drm_vblank_info:0>
      0  int drm_vblank_info(struct seq_file *m, void *data)
      1  {
                struct drm_info_node *node = (struct drm_info_node *) m->private
      3         struct drm_device *dev = node->minor->dev;
 ...
[show vars]
 # ./perf probe --module drm -V drm_vblank_info:3
Available variables at drm_vblank_info:3
        @<drm_vblank_info+20>
                (unknown_type)  data
                struct drm_info_node*   node
                struct seq_file*        m
[put a probe]
 # ./perf probe --module drm drm_vblank_info:3 node m
Add new event:
  probe:drm_vblank_info (on drm_vblank_info:3 with node m)

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

        perf record -e probe:drm_vblank_info -aR sleep 1
[list probes]
 # ./perf probe -l
probe:drm_vblank_info (on drm_vblank_info:3@drivers/gpu/drm/drm_info.c with ...
