Skip the kernel symbols which is out of .text, e.g. the functions
in .inittext. Those are found in debuginfo/kallsyms, but already
freed from memory.

e.g.
  ----
  # perf probe vfs_caches_init
  vfs_caches_init+0 is out of .text, skip it.
  Probe point 'vfs_caches_init' not found.
    Error: Failed to add events.
