perf build-id: Add quirk to deal with perf.data file format breakage

The a1645ce1 changeset:

"perf: 'perf kvm' tool for monitoring guest performance from host"

Added a field to struct build_id_event that broke the file format.

Since the kernel build-id is the first entry, process the table using
the old format if the well known '[kernel.kallsyms]' string for the
kernel build-id has the first 4 characters chopped off (where the pid_t
sits).
