perf probe: Correct error message for non-structure type
perf probe outputs incorrect error message when it is called with non-existent field on a non-data structure local variable. <Before> # perf probe vfs_read 'count.hoge' Fatal: Structure on a register is not supported yet. # perf probe vfs_read 'count->hoge' Fatal: Semantic error: hoge must be referred by '.' This corrects the messsage. <After> # perf probe vfs_read 'count.hoge' Fatal: count is not a data structure. # perf probe vfs_read 'count->hoge' Fatal: count is not a data structure.
