perf probe: Provide more detail with relocation warning
When run as normal user with default sysctl kernel.kptr_restrict=0
and kernel.perf_event_paranoid=2, perf probe fails with:
$ ./perf probe move_page_tables
Relocated base symbol is not found!
The warning message is not much informative. The reason perf fails
is because /proc/kallsyms is restricted by perf_event_paranoid=2
for normal user and thus perf fails to read relocated address of
the base symbol.
Tweaking kptr_restrict and perf_event_paranoid can change the
behavior of perf probe. Also, running as root or privileged user
works too. Add these details in the warning message.
Plus, kmap->ref_reloc_sym might not be always set even if
host_machine is initialized. Above is the example of the same.
Remove that comment.
