perf probe ppc: Enable matching against dot symbols automatically

Allow perf probe to work on ppc ABIv1 without the need to specify the
leading dot '.' for functions. 'perf probe do_fork' works with this
patch.

We do this by changing how symbol name comparison works on ppc ABIv1 -
we simply ignore and skip over the initial dot, if one exists, during
symbol name comparison.
