perf map: Set kmap->kmaps backpointer for main kernel map chunks
When a map is create to represent the main kernel area (vmlinux) with
map__new2() we allocate an extra area to store a pointer to the 'struct
maps' for the kernel maps, so that we can access that struct when
loading ELF files or kallsyms, as we will need to split it in multiple
maps, one per kernel module or ELF section (such as ".init.text").
So when map->dso->kernel is non-zero, it is expected that
map__kmap(map)->kmaps to be set to the tree of kernel maps (modules,
chunks of the main kernel, bpf progs put in place via
PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL, the main kernel).
This was not the case when we were splitting the main kernel into chunks
for its ELF sections, which ended up making 'perf report --children'
processing a perf.data file with callchains to trip on
__map__is_kernel(), when we press ENTER to see the popup menu for main
histogram entries that starts at a symbol in the ".init.text" ELF
section, e.g.:
- 8.83% 0.00% swapper [kernel.vmlinux].init.text [k] start_kernel
start_kernel
cpu_startup_entry
do_idle
cpuidle_enter
cpuidle_enter_state
intel_idle
Fix it.
