Recently we got a case where a kernel sample wasn't being resolved due
to a bug that was not setting the end address on kernel functions
implemented in assembly (see Link: tag), and then those were not being
found by machine__resolve() -> map__find_symbol().
So we ended up with:
# perf top --stdio
PerfTop: 0 irqs/s kernel: 0% exact: 0% lost: 0/0 drop: 0/0 [cycles/P]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Warning:
A vmlinux file was not found.
Kernel samples will not be resolved.
^Z
[1]+ Stopped perf top --stdio
#
But then resolving all other kernel symbols.
So just fixup the logic to only print that warning when there are no
symbols in the kernel map.
Fixes: d88205db9c ("perf dso: Add dso__has_symbols() method")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
