[PATCH 41/46] perf test record+probe_libc_inet_pton: Ask 'nm' for dynamic symbols

Adrian reported that this test fails in his system where:

probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping: FAILED!
root@kbl04:~/git/linux-perf# nm -g /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.19.so | grep inet_pton
nm: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.19.so: no symbols

This fails on ubuntu systems, with Adrian's being kubuntu 14.04, I
tested with ubuntu 14.04.4 and 18.04, and there we need to use the
-D/--dynamic 'nm' option to have this test working. And it works as well
with that on fedora 27, so use it.
