[PATCH v1 04/10] perf, tools, script: Allow sym and dso without ip, addr

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

Currently sym and dso require printing ip and addr because
the print function is tied to those outputs. With callindent
it makes sense to print the symbol or dso without numerical
IP or ADDR. So change the dependency check to only check the
underlying attribute.

This allows to remove a lot of noise in callindent output by
dropping the numerical addresses, which are not all that useful.

Before

% perf script --itrace=cr -F +callindent
