[PATCH perf/core v2 3/4] perf-probe: Add --no-inlines option to avoid searching inline functions

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Add --no-inlines(--inlines) option to avoid searching inline
functions.
Searching all functions which matches glob pattern can take a
long time and find a lot of inline functions. With this option
perf-probe searches target on the non-inlined functions.
