[PATCH 12/25] perf tools: Try to load vmlinux from buildid database

Currently we don't check on kernel's vmlinux the same way as
we do for normal binaries, but we either look for kallsyms
file in build id database or check on known vmlinux locations
(plus some other optional paths).

This patch adds the check for standard build id binary location,
so we are ready once we start to store it there from debuginfod
in following changes.
