perf probe: Ignore vmlinux Build-id when offline vmlinux given

Ignore vmlinux build-id when user gives offline vmlinux if the command
does not affect running kernel.

perf-probe has several actions some of them does not change the running
kernel, like --lines, --vars, and --funcs.

e.g.
  -----
  $ ./perf probe -k ./vmlinux-arm -V do_sys_open:14
  Available variables at do_sys_open:14
          @<do_sys_open+202>
                  char*   filename
                  int     dfd
                  int     fd
                  int     flags
                  struct filename*        tmp
                  struct open_flags       op
                  umode_t mode
