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

    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.
