When we put an event with multiple probes, perf-probe fails to delete with filters. This comes from a failure to list up the event name because of overwrapping its name.

To fix this issue, skip to list up the event which has same name.

Without this patch:

# perf probe -l * probe_perf:map__map_ip (on perf_sample__fprintf_brstackoff:21@ probe_perf:map__map_ip (on perf_sample__fprintf_brstackoff:25@ probe_perf:map__map_ip (on append_inlines:12@util/machine.c in probe_perf:map__map_ip (on unwind_entry:19@util/machine.c in / probe_perf:map__map_ip (on map__map_ip@util/map.h in /home/mhi probe_perf:map__map_ip (on map__map_ip@util/map.h in /home/mhi # perf probe -d * "*" does not hit any event. Error: Failed to delete events. Reason: No such file or directory (Code: -2)

With it:

# perf probe -d * Removed event: probe_perf:map__map_ip #
