Do not use dwfl_module_addrsym if dwarf_diename can find the symbol
name, since dwfl_module_addrsym can be failed on shared libraries.
Without this patch
----
$ perf probe -x ../lib/traceevent/libtraceevent.so -V create_arg_op
Failed to find symbol at 0x11df1
Failed to find the address of create_arg_op
Error: Failed to show vars.
----
With this patch
----
$ perf probe -x ../lib/traceevent/libtraceevent.so -V create_arg_op
Available variables at create_arg_op
@<create_arg_op+0>
enum filter_op_type btype
struct filter_arg* arg
