perf probe: Do not use dwfl_module_addrsym if dwarf_diename finds symbol name
Do not use dwfl_module_addrsym if dwarf_diename can find the symbol name, since dwfl_module_addrsym can be failed on shared libraries. Without this patch ---- $ perf probe -x ../lib/traceevent/libtraceevent.so -V create_arg_op Failed to find symbol at 0x11df1 Failed to find the address of create_arg_op Error: Failed to show vars. ---- With this patch ---- $ perf probe -x ../lib/traceevent/libtraceevent.so -V create_arg_op Available variables at create_arg_op @<create_arg_op+0> enum filter_op_type btype struct filter_arg* arg ---- This bug was reported on linux-perf-users@vger.kernel.org.
