perf symbols: Workaround objdump difficulties with kcore

The objdump tool fails to annotate module symbols when looking at kcore.

Workaround this by extracting object code from kcore and putting it in a
temporary file for objdump to use instead.

The temporary file is created to look like kcore but contains only the
function being disassembled.

  Replace local with variable length with malloc/free to fix build in Fedora 12 ]
