perf probe: Report possible permission error for map__load() failure
Report possible permission error including kptr_restrict setting for map__load() failure. This can happen when non-superuser runs perf probe. With this patch, perf probe shows the following message. $ perf probe vfs_read Failed to load symbols from /proc/kallsyms Please ensure you can read the /proc/kallsyms symbol addresses. If the /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict is '2', you can not read kernel symbol address even if you are a superuser. Please change it to '1'. If kptr_restrict is '1', the superuser can read the symbol addresses. In that case, please run this command again with sudo. Error: Failed to add events.
