Masami Hiramatsu 9aaf5a5f47 perf probe: Check kprobes blacklist when adding new events
Recent linux kernel provides a blacklist of the functions which can not
be probed. perf probe can now check this blacklist before setting new
events and indicate better error message for users.

Without this patch,
  ----
  # perf probe --add vmalloc_fault
  Added new event:
  Failed to write event: Invalid argument
    Error: Failed to add events.
  ----
With this patch
  ----
  # perf probe --add vmalloc_fault
  Added new event:
  Warning: Skipped probing on blacklisted function: vmalloc_fault
