[PATCH 6/7] perf probe: Improve error messages in --line option

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

From: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Improve error messages of 'perf probe --line' mode.

Currently 'perf probe' shows the "Debuginfo analysis failed" message with
an error code when the given symbol is not found:

-----
# perf probe -L page_cgroup_init_flatmem
Debuginfo analysis failed. (-2)
Error: Failed to show lines.
-----

But -2 (-ENOENT) means that the given source line or function was not
found. With this patch, 'perf probe' shows the correct error message:

-----
# perf probe -L page_cgroup_init_flatmem
Specified source line is not found.
Error: Failed to show lines.
-----

There is also another debug error code is shown in the same function
after get_real_path(). This removes that too.
