perf probe --list will get a segfault if the first kprobe event is on a
module and the second or latter one is on the kernel.

e.g.
  ----
  # ./perf probe -q -m pcspkr pcspkr_event
  # ./perf probe -q vfs_read
  # ./perf probe -l
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)
  ----

This is because the debuginfo_cache fails to handle NULL module name,
which causes segfault on strcmp. (Note that strcmp("something", NULL)
always causes segfault)

To fix this debuginfo_cache__open always translates the NULL module name
to "kernel" (this is correct, because NULL module name means opening the
debuginfo for the kernel)

  ----
  # ./perf probe -l
    probe:pcspkr_event   (on pcspkr_event@drivers/input/misc/pcspkr.c
    in pcspkr)
    probe:vfs_read       (on vfs_read@ksrc/linux-3/fs/read_write.c)
