[PATCH v2 4/4] perf-probe: Ignore vmlinux Build-id when offline vmlinux given

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Ignore vmlinux build-id when user gives offline vmlinux if
the command does not affect running kernel.
perf-probe has several actions some of them does not change
the running kernel, like --lines, --vars, and --funcs.

e.g.
  -----
  $ ./perf probe -k ./vmlinux-arm -V do_sys_open:14
  Available variables at do_sys_open:14
          @<do_sys_open+202>
                  char*   filename
                  int     dfd
                  int     fd
                  int     flags
                  struct filename*        tmp
                  struct open_flags       op
                  umode_t mode
