Subject: [PATCH] perf: report should only load text symbols from kallsyms

Just like we do for userspace when reading the symtab, reducing the
number of entries we insert on the symbols rbtree.

Before:

[acme@emilia ~]$ rm -f perf_report.perf ; perf record -o perf_report.perf perf stat perf report > /dev/null
