perf kvm: Fix bug resolving guest kernel syms

Guest kernel symbols are not resolved despite passing the information
needed to resolve them. e.g.,

perf kvm --guest --guestmount=/tmp/guest-mount record -a -- sleep 1
perf kvm --guest --guestmount=/tmp/guest-mount report --stdio

    36.55%  [guest/11399]  [unknown]         [g] 0xffffffff81600bc8
    33.19%  [guest/10474]  [unknown]         [g] 0x00000000c0116e00
    30.26%  [guest/11094]  [unknown]         [g] 0xffffffff8100a288
    43.69%  [guest/10474]  [unknown]         [g] 0x00000000c0103d90
    37.38%  [guest/11399]  [unknown]         [g] 0xffffffff81600bc8
    12.24%  [guest/11094]  [unknown]         [g] 0xffffffff810aa91d
     6.69%  [guest/11094]  [unknown]         [u] 0x00007fa784d721c3

which is just pathetic.

After a maddening 2 days sifting through perf minutia I found it --
id_hdr_size is not initialized for guest machines. This shows up on the
report side as random garbage for the cpu and timestamp, e.g.,

29816 7310572949125804849 0x1ac0 [0x50]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP ...

That messes up the sample sorting such that synthesized guest maps are
processed last.

With this patch you get a much more helpful report:

  12.11%  [guest/11399]  [guest.kernel.kallsyms.11399]  [g] irqtime_account_process_tick
  10.58%  [guest/11399]  [guest.kernel.kallsyms.11399]  [g] run_timer_softirq
   6.95%  [guest/11094]  [guest.kernel.kallsyms.11094]  [g] printk_needs_cpu
   6.50%  [guest/11094]  [guest.kernel.kallsyms.11094]  [g] do_timer
   6.45%  [guest/11399]  [guest.kernel.kallsyms.11399]  [g] idle_balance
   4.90%  [guest/11094]  [guest.kernel.kallsyms.11094]  [g] native_read_tsc
    ...

v2:
- changed rbtree walk to use rb_first per Namhyung's suggestion
