perf symbols: Capture the running kernel buildid too

[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf record -a -f sleep 3s ; perf
buildid-list | grep vmlinux
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.171 MB perf.data (~7489
samples) ] 18e7cc53db62a7d35e9d6f6c9ddc23017d38ee9a vmlinux
[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]#

Several refactorings were needed so that we can have symmetry
between dsos__load_modules() and dsos__load_kernel(), i.e. those
functions will respectively create and add to the dsos list the
loaded modules and kernel, with its buildids, but not load its
symbols. That is something the subcomands that need will have to
call dso__load_kernel_sym(), just like we do with modules with
dsos__load_module_sym()/dso__load_module_sym().

Next csets will actually use this info to stop producing bogus
results using mismatched vmlinux and .ko files.
