perf symbols: Add BSS symbols when reading from /proc/kallsyms

Browse Source 
We were not considering 'B' and 'b' (BSS, uninitialized data objects,
that gets set to zero at program start), do it so that we can resolve
more symbols in tools doing resolution of data operands, like 'perf c2c'.

When using vmlinux, i.e. an ELF symbol table, those were already
considered, as the decision was about STT_FUNC or STT_OBJECT, and the
later covers BSS symbols.

  # grep -i ' b ' /proc/kallsyms  | head -20 | tail -5
  ffffffffa789d030 b execute_command
  ffffffffa789d038 b initcall_command_line
  ffffffffa789d040 b static_command_line
  ffffffffa789d048 B ROOT_DEV
  ffffffffa789d050 b once.73786
  #
  # readelf -s /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/vmlinux | grep ROOT_DEV
  79219: ffffffff8289d048     4 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT   58 ROOT_DEV
