perf symbols: Fix DSO kernel load and symbol process to correctly map DSO to its long_name, type and adjust_symbols

Test "object code reading" fails sometimes for kernel address as below:

    Reading object code for memory address: 0xc000000000004c3c
    File is: [kernel.kallsyms]
    On file address is: 0x14c3c
    dso__data_read_offset failed
    test child finished with -1
    ---- end ----
    Object code reading: FAILED!

Here dso__data_read_offset() fails for symbol address
0xc000000000004c3c. This is because the DSO long_name here is
"[kernel.kallsyms]" and hence open_dso() fails to open this file. There
is an incorrect DSO to map handling here. The key points here are:

- The DSO long_name is set to "[kernel.kallsyms]". This file is
  not present and hence returns error
- The DSO binary type is set to DSO_BINARY_TYPE__NOT_FOUND
- The DSO adjust_symbols member is set to zero

In the end dso__data_read_offset() returns -1 and the address 0x14c3c
can not be resolved. Hence the test fails. But the address actually maps
to the kernel DSO

    # objdump -z -d --start-address=0xc000000000004c3c --stop-address=0xc000000000004cbc /home/athira/linux/vmlinux

    /home/athira/linux/vmlinux:     file format elf64-powerpcle

    Disassembly of section .head.text:

    c000000000004c3c <exc_virt_0x4c00_system_call+0x3c>:
    c000000000004c3c:	a6 02 9b 7d 	mfsrr1  r12
    c000000000004c40:	78 13 42 7c 	mr      r2,r2
    c000000000004c44:	18 00 4d e9 	ld      r10,24(r13)
    c000000000004c48:	60 c6 4a 61 	ori     r10,r10,50784
    c000000000004c4c:	a6 03 49 7d 	mtctr   r10

Fix dso__process_kernel_symbol() to set the binary_type and
adjust_symbols members. dso->adjust_symbols is used by
map__rip_2objdump() which converts the symbol start address to the
objdump address. Also set dso->long_name in dso__load_vmlinux().
