perf_counter tools: fix vmlinux symbol generation breakage.

vmlinux meets the criteria for symbol adjustment, which breaks vmlinux generated symbols.
Fix this by exempting vmlinux.  This is a bit fragile in that someone could change the
kernel dso's name, but currently that name is also hardwired.
