[PATCH] perf machine: Search for modules in %s/lib/modules/%s

[Richard Yao <ryao@gentoo.org>]

Modules installed outside of the kernel's build system should go into
"%s/lib/modules/%s/extra", but at present, perf will only look at them
when they are in "%s/lib/modules/%s/kernel". Lets encourage good
citizenship by relaxing this requirement to "%s/lib/modules/%s". This
way open source modules that are out-of-tree have no incentive to start
populating a directory reserved for in-kernle modules and I can stop hex
editing my system's perf binary when profiling OSS out-of-tree modules.
