Subject: perf probe: Fix --funcs to show correct symbols for offline module

From: Masami Hiramatsu <[email protected]>

commit eebc509b20881b92d62e317b2c073e57c5f200f0 upstream.

Fix --funcs (-F) option to show correct symbols for offline module. Since previous perf-probe uses machine__findnew_module_map() for offline module, even if user passes a module file (with full path) which is for other architecture, perf-probe always tries to load symbol map for current kernel module.

This fix uses dso__new_map() to load the map from given binary as same as a map for user applications.
