perf symbols: Workaround objdump difficulties with kcore

Browse Source 
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 ]
