It currently prevents adding probes in weak symbols. But there're cases
that given name is an only weak symbol so that we cannot add probe.
$ perf probe -x /usr/lib/libc.so.6 -a calloc
Failed to find symbol calloc in /usr/lib/libc-2.21.so
Error: Failed to add events.
$ nm /usr/lib/libc.so.6 | grep calloc
000000000007b1f0 t __calloc
000000000007b1f0 T __libc_calloc
000000000007b1f0 W calloc
This change will result in duplicate probes when strong and weak symbols
co-exist in a binary. But I think it's not a big problem since probes
at the weak symbol will never be hit anyway.
