perf tools: Fix prefix matching for kernel maps
In some perf ancient versions we used '[kernel.kallsyms._text]' as the name for the kernel map. This got changed with commit: perf: 'perf kvm' tool for monitoring guest performance from host commit a1645ce Author: Zhang, Yanmin <yanmin_zhang@linux.intel.com> and we started to use following name '[kernel.kallsyms]_text'. This name change is important for the report code dealing with ancient perf data. When processing the kernel map event, we need to recognize the old naming (dont match the last ']') and initialize the kernel map correctly. The subsequent call to maps__set_kallsyms_ref_reloc_sym deals with the superfluous ']' to get correct symbol name.
