perf symbols: Prevent the use of kcore if the kernel has moved
Use of kcore is predicated upon it matching the recorded data. If the kernel has been relocated at boot time (i.e. since the data was recorded) then do not use kcore. Note that it is possible to make a copy of kcore at the time the data is recorded using 'perf buildid-cache'. Then the perf tools will use the copy because it does match the data.
