perf probe: Add kernel source path option

The probe plugin requires access to the source code for some operations.  The
source code must be in the exact same location as specified by the DWARF tags,
but sometimes the location is an absolute path that cannot be replicated by a
normal user. This change adds the -s|--source option to allow the user to
specify the root of the kernel source tree.
