perf symbols: Accept zero as the kernel base address
Which is the case in S/390, where symbols were not being resolved
because machine__get_kernel_start was only setting machine->kernel_start
when the just successfully loaded kernel symtab had its map->start set
to !0, when it was left at (1ULL << 63) assuming a partitioning of the
address space for user/kernel, which is not the case in S/390 nor in
Sparc.
So just check if map__load() was successfull and set
machine->kernel_start to zero, fixing kernel symbol resolution on S/390.

I like this patch. I have done a new build and removed all my debug output to start
from scratch. Without your patch I get this:
# Samples: 4 of event 'cpu-clock'
# Event count (approx.): 1000000
#
# Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ........ ....... ................ ........................

and with your patch (I just rebuilt the perf tool, nothing else and used the same
perf.data file as input):
# Samples: 4 of event 'cpu-clock'
