perf machine: Fix segfault for kernel.kptr_restrict=2
Michael reported the segfault when kernel.kptr_restrict=2 is set.
$ perf record ls

Segmentation fault (core dumped)
The reason is that with kernel.kptr_restrict=2, we don't get
the symbol from machine__get_running_kernel_start, which we
want to use in maps__set_kallsyms_ref_reloc_sym and we crash.
Check the symbol name value before calling
maps__set_kallsyms_ref_reloc_sym() and succeed without ref_reloc_sym
being set. It's safe because we check its existence before we use it.
