[PATCH 1/6] perf top: teach it to autolocate vmlinux

[Kirill Smelkov]

By relying on logic in dso__load_kernel_sym(), we can automatically load
vmlinux.

The only thing which needs to be adjusted, is how --sym-annotate option
is handled - now we can't rely on vmlinux been loaded until full
successful pass of dso__load_vmlinux(), but that's not the case if we'll
do sym_filter_entry setup in symbol_filter().

So move this step right after event__process_sample() where we know the
whole dso__load_kernel_sym() pass is done.

By the way, though conceptually similar `perf top` still can't annotate
userspace - see next patches with fixes.
