[PATCH 4.4 083/190] perf probe: Add warning message if there is unexpected event name

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org>


[ Upstream commit 9f5c6d8777a2d962b0eeacb2a16f37da6bea545b ]

This improve the error message so that user can know event-name error
before writing new events to kprobe-events interface.

E.g.
   ======
   #./perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.25.so malloc_get_state*
   Internal error: "malloc_get_state@GLIBC_2" is an invalid event name.
     Error: Failed to add events.
   ======
