[PATCH 14/17] perf tools: Do not create kernel maps in sample__resolve

There's no need for kernel maps to be allocated at this
point - sample processing.

We search for kernel maps using the kernel map_groups in
machine::kmaps which is static. If vmlinux maps for any
reason still don't exist, the search correctly fails
because they are not in the map group.
