He Kuang 7d5eaba9b3 perf probe: Show better error message when failed to find variable
Indicate to check variable location range in error message when we got
failed to find the variable.

Before this patch:

  $ perf probe --add 'generic_perform_write+118 bytes'
  Failed to find the location of bytes at this address.
   Perhaps, it has been optimized out.
    Error: Failed to add events.

After this patch:

  $ perf probe --add 'generic_perform_write+118 bytes'
  Failed to find the location of the 'bytes' variable at this address.
   Perhaps it has been optimized out.
   Use -V with the --range option to show 'bytes' location range.
    Error: Failed to add events.
