perf probe: Add data structure member access support

Browse source

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.
