perf tools: Fix find_perf_probe_point_from_map() which incorrectly returns success

It is possible that find_perf_probe_point_from_map() fails to find a
symbol but still returns 0 because of an small error when coding:
find_perf_probe_point_from_map() set 'ret' to error code at first, but
also use it to hold return value of kernel_get_symbol_address_by_name().

This patch resets 'ret' to error even kernel_get_symbol_address_by_name()
success, so if !sym, the whole function returns error correctly.
