perf symbols: Use CAP_SYSLOG with kptr_restrict checks
The kernel is using CAP_SYSLOG capability instead of uid==0 and euid==0 when checking kptr_restrict. Make perf do the same. Also, the kernel is a more restrictive than "no restrictions" in case of kptr_restrict==0, so add the same logic to perf.
