Subject: perf tests: Decompress kernel module before objdump

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>


[ Upstream commit 94df1040b1e6aacd8dec0ba3c61d7e77cd695f26 ]

If a kernel modules is compressed, it should be decompressed before
running objdump to parse binary data correctly.  This fixes a failure of
object code reading test for me.
