perf/core improvements and fixes:

User visible:
 
 - Enhance the error reporting of tracepoint event parsing, e.g.:
 
     $ oldperf record -e sched:sched_switc usleep 1
     event syntax error: 'sched:sched_switc'
                         \___ unknown tracepoint
     Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
 
   Now we get the much nicer:
 
     $ perf record -e sched:sched_switc ls
     event syntax error: 'sched:sched_switc'
                          \___ can't access trace events
 
     Error: No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switc
     Hint:  Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug'
 
   And after we have those mount point permissions fixed:
 
     $ perf record -e sched:sched_switc ls
     event syntax error: 'sched:sched_switc'
                          \___ unknown tracepoint
 
     Error: File /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switc not found.
     Hint:  Perhaps this kernel misses some CONFIG_ setting to enable this feature?.
 
   Now its just a matter of using what git uses to suggest alternatives when we
   make a typo, i.e. that it is just an 'h' missing :-)
 
   I.e. basically now the event parsing routing uses the strerror_open()
   routines introduced by and used in 'perf trace' work. (Jiri Olsa)
 
 Infrastructure:
 
 - Export init/exit_probe_symbol_maps() from 'perf probe' for use in eBPF
   (Namhyung Kim)
 
 - Free perf_probe_event in cleanup_perf_probe_events() (Namhyung Kim)
 
 - regs_query_register_offset() infrastructure + implementation for x86.
   First user will be the perf/eBPF code (Wang Nan)
