perf probe: Add data structure member access support
Support accessing members in the data structures. With this,
perf-probe accepts data-structure members(IOW, it now accepts
dot '.' and arrow '->' operators) as probe arguemnts.
e.g.
./perf probe --add 'schedule:44 rq->curr'
./perf probe --add 'vfs_read file->f_op->read file->f_path.dentry'
Note that '>' can be interpreted as redirection in command-line.
