perf probe: Remove caches when --cache is given
'perf probe --del' removes caches when '--cache' is given. Note that
the delete pattern is not the same as for normal events.
If you cached probes with event name, --del "eventname" works as
expected. However, if you skipped it, the cached probes doesn't have
actual event name. In that case --del "probe-desc" is required (wildcard
is acceptable). For example a cache entry has the probe-desc "vfs_read
$params", you can remove it with --del 'vfs_read*'.
