perf annotate-data: Handle direct global variable access
Like per-cpu base offset array, sometimes it accesses the global variable directly using the offset. Allow this type of instructions as long as it finds a global variable for the address. movslq %edi, %rcx mov -0x7dc94ae0(,%rcx,8), %rcx <<<--- here As %rcx has a valid type (i.e. array index) from the first instruction, it will be checked by the first case in check_matching_type(). But as it's not a pointer type, the match will fail. But in this case, it should check if it accesses the kernel global array variable.
