Masami Hiramatsu d761b08bff perf probe: Reject second attempt of adding same-name event
Reject second attempt of adding same-name event. This patch
also provides --force option which allows user to add additional
probe events on the same-name event.

e.g.
(the first attempt : success)
 ./perf probe schedule
 Added new event:
   probe:schedule                           (on schedule+0)

(the second attempt : failure)
 ./perf probe schedule:11
 Error: event "schedule" already exists. (Use -f to force duplicates.)
   Fatal: Can't add new event.

(the second attempt with -f : successfully added)
 ./perf probe -f schedule:11
 Added new event:
   probe:schedule_1                         (on schedule+45)
