perf probe: Fix to cut off incompatible chars from group name



Cut off the characters which can not use for group name of uprobes
when making it based on executable filename.

For example, if the exec name is libstdc++.so, without this fix
perf probe generates "probe_libstdc++" as the group name, but
it is failed to set because '+' can not be used for group name.

With this fix perf accepts only alphabet, number or '_' for group
name, thus perf generates "probe_libstdc" as the group name.

E.g. with this fix, you can see the event name has no "+".

  $ ./perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 -D is_open
  p:probe_libstdc/is_open /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22:0x8ca80
  p:probe_libstdc/is_open_1 /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22:0x8ca70
  p:probe_libstdc/is_open_2 /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22:0x8ca60
  p:probe_libstdc/is_open_3 /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22:0xb0ad0

Committer note:

Before this fix:

  # perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 is_open
  Failed to write event: Invalid argument
    Error: Failed to add events.
  #

After the fix:

  # perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 is_open
  Added new events:
    probe_libstdc:is_open (on is_open in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22)
    probe_libstdc:is_open_1 (on is_open in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22)
    probe_libstdc:is_open_2 (on is_open in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22)
    probe_libstdc:is_open_3 (on is_open in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22)
    probe_libstdc:is_open_4 (on is_open in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	  perf record -e probe_libstdc:is_open_4 -aR sleep 1

  # perf probe -l probe_libstdc:*
    probe_libstdc:is_open (on is_open@libstdc++-v3/include/fstream in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22)
    probe_libstdc:is_open_1 (on is_open@libstdc++-v3/include/fstream in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22)
    probe_libstdc:is_open_2 (on is_open@libstdc++-v3/include/fstream in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22)
    probe_libstdc:is_open_3 (on is_open@src/c++98/basic_file.cc in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22)
    probe_libstdc:is_open_4 (on stdio_filebuf:5@include/ext/stdio_filebuf.h in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22)
