perf annotate: Automatically pick up vmlinux in the local directory

Browse Source 
Right now kernel debug info does not get resolved by default, because
we dont know where to look for the vmlinux.

The -k option can be used for that - but if no option is given, pick
up vmlinux files in the current directory - in case a kernel hacker
runs profiling from the source directory that the kernel was built in.

The real solution would be to embedd the location (and perhaps the
date/timestamp) of the vmlinux file in /proc/kallsyms, so that
tools can pick it up automatically.
