perf annotate-data: Handle this-cpu variables in kernel

On x86, the kernel gets the current task using the current macro like
below:

  #define current  get_current()

  static __always_inline struct task_struct *get_current(void)
  {
      return this_cpu_read_stable(pcpu_hot.current_task);
  }

So it returns the current_task field of struct pcpu_hot which is the
first member.  On my build, it's located at 0x32940.

  $ nm vmlinux | grep pcpu_hot
  0000000000032940 D pcpu_hot

And the current macro generates the instructions like below:

  mov  %gs:0x32940, %rcx

So the %gs segment register points to the beginning of the per-cpu
region of this cpu and it points the variable with a constant.

Let's update the instruction location info to have a segment register
and handle %gs in kernel to look up a global variable.  Pretend it as
a global variable by changing the register number to DWARF_REG_PC.
