perf symbols: Filter samples with unresolved symbol when "--symbols" option is used

Report/top commands support to only handle specific symbols with
"--symbols" option, but current code will keep those samples whose
symbol can't be resolved, which should actually be filtered.

If we run following commands:
$perf record -a tree
$perf report --symbols intel_idle -n
the output will be:

Without the patch:
==================
46.27% 156 sshd [unknown]
26.05% 48 swapper [kernel.kallsyms]
17.26% 38 tree libc-2.12.1.so
7.69% 17 tree tree
2.73% 6 tree ld-2.12.1.so

With the patch:
===============
100.00% 48 swapper [kernel.kallsyms]
