perf probe: Remove incorrect symbol check for --list
Remove unneeded symbol check for --list option.
This code actually checks whether the given symbol exists in the kernel.
But this is incorrect for online kernel/module and offline module too:
- For online kernel/module, the kprobes itself already
ensured the symbol exist in the kernel.
- For offline module, this code can't access the offlined
modules. Ignore it.
