perf report: Fix a wrong offset issue when using /proc/kcore

When a valid vmlinux is not found, 'perf report' falls back to look at
/proc/kcore. In this case, it will report the impossible large offset.

For example:

  # perf record -b -e cycles:k find /etc/ > /dev/null
  # perf report --stdio --branch-history

    22.77%  _vm_normal_page+18446603336221188162
            |
            ---page_remove_rmap +18446603336221188324
               page_remove_rmap +18446603336221188487 (cycles:5)
               unlock_page_memcg +18446603336221188096
               page_remove_rmap +18446603336221188327 (cycles:1)

The issue is the value which is passed to parameter 'addr' in
__get_srcline() is the objdump address. It's not correct if we calculate
the offset by using 'addr - sym->start'.

This patch creates a new parameter 'ip' in __get_srcline(). It is not
converted to objdump address.

With this patch, the perf report output is:

    22.77%  _vm_normal_page+66
            |
            ---page_remove_rmap +228
               page_remove_rmap +391 (cycles:5)
               unlock_page_memcg +0
               page_remove_rmap +231 (cycles:1)
               page_remove_rmap +236

Committer testing:

Make sure you get any valid vmlinux out of the way, using '-v' on the
'perf report' case and deleting it from places where perf searches them,
like your kernel build dir and the build-id cache, in ~/.debug/.
