perf top: Allow passing a kallsyms file

acmel · acmel · commit 1b3aae90c6ab · 2018-12-17T14:54:40.000-03:00
This basically replicates what was done for 'perf report' in: b226a5a ("perf report: Allow user to specify path to kallsyms file") This should help with resolving eBPF symbols, that are in kallsyms but, of course, not in vmlinux.
