[PATCH v4 1/2] perf machine: Support arch's specific kernel start address

[Leo Yan <leo.yan@linaro.org>]

machine__get_kernel_start() gives out the kernel start address; some
architectures need to tweak the start address so that can reflect the
kernel start address correctly.  This is not only for x86_64 arch, but
it is also required by other architectures, e.g. arm/arm64 needs to
tweak the kernel start address so can include the kernel memory regions
which are used before the '_stext' symbol.

This patch refactors machine__get_kernel_start() by adding a weak
arch__fix_kernel_text_start(), any architecture can implement it to
tweak its specific start address; this also allows the arch specific
code to be placed into 'arch' folder.
