[PATCH] perf probe: Ignore vmlinux build-id when offline vmlinux and dry-run used

[Josh Hunt]

Commit e50243bb ("perf probe: Ignore vmlinux Build-id when offline vmlinux given")
added the ability to ignore vmlinux when an offline vmlinux is passed and no
l, d, or a flag is also passed. This extends that to ignore build-id when
-n/--dry-run is used. This way we can gather probe information for offline kernels
using the method Brendan Gregg mentions in this post:
http://www.brendangregg.com/blog/2014-09-11/perf-kernel-line-tracing.html .

Ex:
 $ ./perf probe -k ./vmlinux-3.14.59 -nv 'do_sys_open=do_sys_open:7 filename:string dfd flags op'

will generate:
 do_sys_open+91 filename_string=+0(%si):string dfd=%di:s32 flags=%bx:s32 op=-60(%bp):u64

and then copy/paste this to the machine running the 3.14.59 kernel.
