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.
