perf s390: Fix 'start' address of module's map

Browse Source 
At present, when creating module's map, perf gets 'start' address by
parsing '/proc/modules', but it's the module base address, it isn't the
start address of the '.text' section.

In most arches, it's OK. But for s390, it places 'GOT' and 'PLT'
relocations before '.text' section. So there exists an offset between
module base address and '.text' section, which will incur wrong symbol
resolution for modules.

Fix this bug by getting 'start' address of module's map from parsing
'/sys/module/[module name]/sections/.text', not from '/proc/modules'.
