perf top: Exit if specified --vmlinux can't be used

Browse source 
As we do lazy loading of symtabs we only will know if the
specified vmlinux file is invalid when we actually have a hit in
kernel space and then try to load it. So if we get kernel hits
and there are _no_ symbols in the DSO backing the kernel map,
bail out.
