Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo c522739d72 perf trace: Use vfs_getname hook if available
Initially it tries to find a probe:vfs_getname that should be setup
with:

 perf probe 'vfs_getname=getname_flags:65 pathname=result->name:string'

or with slight changes to cope with code flux in the getname_flags code.

In the future, if a "vfs:getname" tracepoint becomes available, then it
will be preferred.

This is not strictly required and more expensive method of reading the
/proc/pid/fd/ symlink will be used when the fd->path array entry is not
populated by a previous vfs_getname + open syscall ret sequence.

As with any other 'perf probe' probe the setup must be done just once
and the probe will be left inactive, waiting for users, be it 'perf
trace' of any other tool.
