perf tools: Use the "_stest" symbol to identify the kernel map when loading kcore
The first symbol is not necessarily in the kernel text. Instead of
using the first symbol, use the _stest symbol to identify the kernel map
when loading kcore.
This allows for the introduction of symbols to identify the x86_64 PTI
entry trampolines.
