perf test vmlinux: Tolerate symbol aliases

The algorithms used to prune aliases in symbols__fixup_duplicate() uses
information available on ELF symtabs that are not present on
/proc/kallsyms, so it picks different aliases as "best" for vmlinux and
kallsyms.

We could probably improve a bit this by having a list of aliases for the
"best" symbols picked, instead of throwing this info, but that is left
for when we find a real need.

With this, 'perf test vmlinux' passes:

  # perf test -F 1
   1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: Ok
  #

When we ask for verbose mode, we can see those warning:

  # perf test -F -v 1
   1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms:
