[PATCH] perf test: Record kcore for the CoreSight callchain test

The CoreSight callchain test traces both userspace and kernel execution
and checks the callchain across a syscall.
Add --kcore to perf record to save the running kernel image alongside
the trace data so perf script can use it to decode the kernel trace.
Add a Fixes tag so the change can be backported to stable kernels and
improve the test reliability.
