Perf test for perf probe of function from different CU fails
as below:

        ./perf test -vv "test perf probe of function from different CU"
        116: test perf probe of function from different CU:

FAILED!

The test does below to probe function "foo" :

        # gcc -g -Og -flto -c 
/tmp/perf-uprobe-different-cu-sh.XniNxNEVT7/testfile-foo.c
        -o /tmp/perf-uprobe-different-cu-sh.XniNxNEVT7/testfile-foo.o
        # gcc -g -Og -c 
/tmp/perf-uprobe-different-cu-sh.XniNxNEVT7/testfile-main.c
        -o /tmp/perf-uprobe-different-cu-sh.XniNxNEVT7/testfile-main.o
        # gcc -g -Og -o /tmp/perf-uprobe-different-cu-sh.XniNxNEVT7/testfile
        /tmp/perf-uprobe-different-cu-sh.XniNxNEVT7/testfile-foo.o
        /tmp/perf-uprobe-different-cu-sh.XniNxNEVT7/testfile-main.o

        # ./perf probe -x /tmp/perf-uprobe-different-cu-sh.XniNxNEVT7/testfile 
foo
        Failed to find symbol foo in 
/tmp/perf-uprobe-different-cu-sh.XniNxNEVT7/testfile
           Error: Failed to add events.

Perf probe fails to find symbol foo in the executable placed in
/tmp/perf-uprobe-different-cu-sh.XniNxNEVT7

Simple reproduce:

 # mktemp -d /tmp/perf-checkXXXXXXXXXX
   /tmp/perf-checkcWpuLRQI8j

 # gcc -g -o test test.c
 # cp test /tmp/perf-checkcWpuLRQI8j/
 # nm /tmp/perf-checkcWpuLRQI8j/test | grep foo
   00000000100006bc T foo

 # ./perf probe -x /tmp/perf-checkcWpuLRQI8j/test foo
   Failed to find symbol foo in /tmp/perf-checkcWpuLRQI8j/test
      Error: Failed to add events.

But it works with any files like /tmp/perf/test. Only for
patterns with "/tmp/perf-", this fails.

Further debugging, commit 80d496be89ed ("perf report: Add support
for profiling JIT generated code") added support for profiling JIT
generated code. This patch handles dso's of form
"/tmp/perf-$PID.map" .

The check used "if (strncmp(self->name, "/tmp/perf-", 10) == 0)"
to match "/tmp/perf-$PID.map". With this commit, any dso in
/tmp/perf- folder will be considered separately for processing
(not only JIT created map files ). Fix this by changing the
string pattern to check for regex of form "/tmp/perf-*.map"

With the fix,
        # ./perf test "test perf probe of function from different CU"
        117: test perf probe of function from different CU                   : 
Ok
