    perf top: Don't complain about lack of vmlinux when not resolving some kernel samples
    
    [ Upstream commit 058b38ccd2af9e5c95590b018e8425fa148d7aca ]
    
    Recently we got a case where a kernel sample wasn't being resolved due
    to a bug that was not setting the end address on kernel functions
    implemented in assembly (see Link: tag), and then those were not being
    found by machine__resolve() -> map__find_symbol().
    
    So we ended up with:
    
      # perf top --stdio
      PerfTop: 0 irqs/s  kernel: 0%  exact: 0% lost: 0/0 drop: 0/0 [cycles/P]
      -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
      Warning:
      A vmlinux file was not found.
      Kernel samples will not be resolved.
      ^Z
      [1]+  Stopped                 perf top --stdio
      #
    
    But then resolving all other kernel symbols.
    
    So just fixup the logic to only print that warning when there are no
    symbols in the kernel map.
