Subject: [PATCH] perf symbols: Don't try to find a vmlinux file when looking
 for kernel modules

The dso->kernel value is now set to everything that is in
machine->kmaps, but that was being used to decide if vmlinux lookup is
needed, which ended up making that lookup be made for kernel modules,
that now have dso->kernel set, leading to these kinds of warnings when
running on a machine with compressed kernel modules, like fedora:31:

  [root@...e ~]#

This happens when collecting the buildid, when we find samples for
kernel modules, fix it by checking if the looked up DSO is a kernel
module by other means.
