Subject: [PATCH v3 12/50] perf record: Lazy load kernel symbols

Commit 5b7ba82a7591 ("perf symbols: Load kernel maps before using")
changed it so that loading a kernel dso would cause the symbols for
the dso to be eagerly loaded. For perf record this is overhead as the
symbols won't be used. Add a symbol_conf to control the behavior and
disable it for perf record and perf inject.
