perf probe: Show accessible local variables
Add -V (--vars) option for listing accessible local variables at given probe
point. This will help finding which local variables are available for event
arguments.
e.g.)
# perf probe -V call_timer_fn:23
Available variables at call_timer_fn:23
@<run_timer_softirq+345>
function_type* fn
int preempt_count
long unsigned int data
struct list_head work_list
struct list_head* head
struct timer_list* timer
struct tvec_base* base
