perf symbols: Move symbol filtering to event__preprocess_sample()
So that --dsos, --comm, --symbols can bem used in more tools,
like in perf diff:
$ perf record -f find / > /dev/null
$ perf record -f find / > /dev/null
$ perf diff --dsos /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so | head -5
1 +22392124 /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so _IO_vfprintf_internal
2 +6410655 /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so __GI_memmove
3 +1 +9192692 /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so _int_malloc
4 -1 -15158605 /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so _int_free
