[PATCH] perf - ensure offset provided during probe addition is notgreater than function size when no DWARF info

[Prashanth Nageshappa]

perf probe allows kprobe to be inserted at any offset from a function
start, which results in adding kprobes to unintended location.
(example: perf probe do_fork+10000 is allowed even though size of
do_fork is ~904).

My previous patch https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/24/42 addressed the case
where DWARF info was available for the kernel. This patch fixes the
case where perf probe is used on a kernel without debuginfo available.
