perf probe: Add filters support for available functions

Add filters support for available function list.

Default filter is "!_*" for filtering out local-purpose symbols.

e.g.:
 # perf probe --filter="add*" -F
add_disk
add_disk_randomness
add_input_randomness
add_interrupt_randomness
add_memory
add_page_to_unevictable_list
add_page_wait_queue
...
