[PATCH v3] perf report: Provide libtraceevent with a kernel symbol resolver

[Wang YanQing]

So that beautifiers wanting to resolve kernel function addresses to
names can do its work, and when we use "perf report" for output of
"perf kmem record", we will get kernel symbol output.

This patch affect the output of "perf report" for the record data
generated by "perf kmem record" looks like below:

 Changes v2-v3:
 1: Fix one WARNING reported by ./scripts/checkpatch.pl
 Note: the ./scripts/checkpatch.pl report "WARNING: Possible unwrapped commit description"
       for the output of "perf report", I think we can avoid that warning, because the
       original output of "perf report" is unwrapped.

 Changes v1-v2:
 1: Add a before and after output of tools affected by the patch in the changelog.
 2: Rebase the patch to last kernel version.
