[PATCH 3/5] perf probe: Support multiprobe event

[Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org>]

Support multiprobe event if the event is based on function
and lines and kernel supports it. In this case, perf probe
creates the first probe with an event, and tries to append
following probes on that event, since those probes must be
on the same source code line.

Before this patch;
  # perf probe -a vfs_read:18
  Added new events:
    probe:vfs_read_L18   (on vfs_read:18)
    probe:vfs_read_L18_1 (on vfs_read:18)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  	perf record -e probe:vfs_read_L18_1 -aR sleep 1

  #

After this patch (on multiprobe supported kernel)
  # perf probe -a vfs_read:18
  Added new events:
    probe:vfs_read_L18   (on vfs_read:18)
    probe:vfs_read_L18   (on vfs_read:18)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  	perf record -e probe:vfs_read_L18 -aR sleep 1
