[PATCHv2 2/8] perf probe: Improve detection of file/function name in the probe pattern

["Naveen N. Rao" <naveen.n.rao@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

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.
