perf probe: Fix error reported when offset without function
This patch fixes a bug that, when offset is provided but function is lost, parse_perf_probe_point() will give a "" string as function name, so the checking code at the end of parse_perf_probe_point() become useless. For example: # perf probe +0x1234 Failed to find symbol in kernel Error: Failed to add events. After this patch: # perf probe +0x1234 Semantic error :Offset requires an entry function. Error: Command Parse Error.
