perf probe: Do not access kallsyms when analyzing user binaries
Do not access kallsyms to show available variables and show source lines
in user binaries.
This behavior always requires the root privilege when sysctl sets
kernel.kptr_restrict=1, but we don't need it just for analyzing user
binaries.
Without this patch (by normal user, kptr_restrict=1):
----
$ perf probe -x ./perf -V add_cmdname
Failed to init vmlinux path.
Error: Failed to show vars.
$ perf probe -x ./perf -L add_cmdname
Failed to init vmlinux path.
Error: Failed to show lines.

With this patch:
