perf tools: Fix prefix matching for kernel maps

In some perf ancient versions we used '[kernel.kallsyms._text]' as the
name for the kernel map.

This got changed with commit:
  perf: 'perf kvm' tool for monitoring guest performance from host
  commit cb30dcad8c9087509923b858a303eb2b3df66837
  Author: Zhang, Yanmin <yanmin_zhang@linux.intel.com>

and we started to use following name '[kernel.kallsyms]_text'.

This name change is important for the report code dealing with ancient
perf data. When processing the kernel map event, we need to recognize
the old naming (dont match the last ']') and initialize the kernel map
correctly.

The subsequent call to maps__set_kallsyms_ref_reloc_sym deals with the
superfluous ']' to get correct symbol name.
