[PATCH] perf tools: /proc/kcore requires CAP_SYS_RAWIO message too noisy

[Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com>]

The "/proc/kcore requires CAP_SYS_RAWIO" message comes up all
the time for 'perf script' if vmlinux is not found and the
user isn't root, even when the kernel is not being traced and
even though the message is only really relevant for annotation.

Change it to pr_debug and instead put a note in the message
displayed if annotation is not possible.

Also, the file being accessed might not be /proc/kcore.
Tools can be directed to a different location using the
--kallsyms option in which case kcore is expected to be
in the same directory.  Adjust the message so it is not
misleading in that case.
