Subject: [PATCH 8/8] perf tools: Make vmlinux short name more like kallsyms short name

The previous patch changed kernel dso name from '[kernel.kallsyms]' to
vmlinux.  However it might add confusion to old users accustomed to
the old name.  So change the short name to '[kernel.vmlinux]' to
reduce such confusion.
