perf probe: Improve detection of file/function name in the probe pattern
Currently, perf probe considers patterns including a '.' to be a file.
However, this causes problems on powerpc ABIv1 where all functions have
a leading '.':
$ perf probe -F | grep schedule_timeout_interruptible
.schedule_timeout_interruptible
$ perf probe .schedule_timeout_interruptible
Semantic error :File always requires line number or lazy pattern.
Error: Command Parse Error.
Fix this:
- by checking the probe pattern in more detail, and
- skipping leading dot if one exists when creating/deleting events.
