Ping? Does anyone still concern this patch?

Before patch ba92732e9808df679ddf75c5ea1c0caae6d7dce2 ('perf kmaps:

this:

This is because __kmod_path__parse treats '[' leading names as kernel
name instead of names of kernel module. If perf.data contains build
information and the buildid of such modules can be found, the DSO of
it will be treated as kernel, not kernel module. It will then be passed to
dso__load_kernel_sym() -> dso__load_kcore() because of --kallsyms
argument.

The refered patch adds NULL pointer checker to avoid segfault. However,
such kernel modules are still processed incorrectly.

This patch fixes __kmod_path__parse, makes it treat names like
'[test_module]' as kernel modules.

kmod-path.c is also update to reflect the above changes.

Since ba92732e9808df679ddf75c5ea1c0caae6d7dce2 is already in -tip tree,
segfault will not be triggered even without this patch.
