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.

[ Renamed 'index' to 'idx' to avoid shadowing string.h's 'index' in Fedora 12,
Replace local with variable length with malloc/free to fix build in Fedora 12 ]
