perf tools: Make it possible to read object code from kernel modules

The new "object code reading" test shows that it is not possible to read
object code from kernel modules.  That is because the mappings do not
map to the dsos.  This patch fixes that.

This involves identifying and flagging relocatable (ELF type ET_REL)
files (e.g. kernel modules) for symbol adjustment and updating
map__rip_2objdump() accordingly.  The kmodule parameter of
dso__load_sym() is taken into use and the module map altered to map to
the dso.
