perf top: Teach it to autolocate vmlinux

By relying on logic in dso__load_kernel_sym(), we can
automatically load vmlinux.

The only thing which needs to be adjusted, is how --sym-annotate
option is handled - now we can't rely on vmlinux been loaded
until full successful pass of dso__load_vmlinux(), but that's
not the case if we'll do sym_filter_entry setup in
symbol_filter().

So move this step right after event__process_sample() where we
know the whole dso__load_kernel_sym() pass is done.

By the way, though conceptually similar `perf top` still can't
annotate userspace - see next patches with fixes.
