perf symbols: Filter samples with unresolved symbol when "--symbols" option is used

Report/top commands support to only handle specific symbols with
"--symbols" option, but current code will keep those samples whose
symbol can't be resolved, which should actually be filtered.

If we run following commands:
$perf record -a tree
$perf report --symbols intel_idle -n
the output will be:

Without the patch:
==================
    46.27%        156     sshd  [unknown]
    26.05%         48  swapper  [kernel.kallsyms]
    17.26%         38     tree  libc-2.12.1.so
     7.69%         17     tree  tree
     2.73%          6     tree  ld-2.12.1.so

With the patch:
===============
   100.00%         48  swapper  [kernel.kallsyms]
