[PATCH] perf: Don't assume host's module path for default guest machine

[David Ahern]

When using the default guest modules option (--guestmodules) for perf-kvm
the host's module path is prepended to the modules. e.g,

... PERF_RECORD_MMAP 0/0: [0xffffffffa0005000(0x4fff) @ 0]:
    /lib/modules/3.4.0+/kernel/drivers/virtio/virtio.ko

which is wrong so don't do it. With this patch MMAP events for default guest
kernel modules become:

... PERF_RECORD_MMAP 0/0: [0xffffffffa0005000(0x4fff) @ 0]: [virtio]
