perf record: Add a fallback to the reference relocation symbol

Usually "_text" is enough, but I received reports that its not always
available, so fallback to "_stext" for the symbol we use to check if we
need to apply any relocation to all the symbols in the kernel symtab,
for when, for instance, kexec is being used.
