perf symbols: Record text offset in dso to calculate objdump address
In this patch, the offset of '.text' section is stored into dso and used here to re-calculate address to objdump. In most of the cases, executable code is in '.text' section, so the adjustment made to a symbol in dso__load_sym (using sym.st_value -= shdr.sh_addr - shdr.sh_offset) should equal to 'sym.st_value -= dso->text_offset'. Therefore, adding text_offset back get objdump address from symbol address (rip). However, it is not true for kernel and kernel module since there could be multiple executable sections with different offset. Exclude kernel for this reason. After this patch, even dso->adjust_symbols is set to true for shared objects, map__rip_2objdump() and map__objdump_2mem() would return correct result, so perf behavior of annotate won't be changed.
